I’m running a fresh version of Haiku x64 in a VirtualBox VM. Networking seems to be working fine. It can update and install without issue. WebPositive works fine too.
I’ve been trying to use git to get the Haiku source but it just seems to create the git specific repo files and stops. I even left it overnight. Nothing. No error. Just sits there until I kill it.
Is there any reason for this?
The clone URLs specified on git.haiku-os.org are kinda broken; I really should change those out for the new ones. Try using
https://review.haiku-os.org/haiku.git
as your clone URL and see if it works. (Or use the GitHub mirror.)

Apologies for the bandwidth usage.
I tried that URL, which may have been what I already tried. git seems to create a generic project skeleton in the target directory and never does anything else.
I tried the same URL in Ubuntu18.04. It sat for a good couple of minutes but eventually the process of counting objects etc. started.
Using the git mirror in Haiku worked instantly. Thanks for that!
I’m not sure what’s causing the issue / slowness with the official git repo server though as there were no errors or anything.
