Problems with submodules

[felixcohen]

Hey,

I had some issues with the install; a little bit PEBKAC perhaps, but having issues running the submodule update:

Felix-Cohens-MacBook-Pro-2:~ felix$ git clone git@github.com:dxw/whippet.git Cloning into 'whippet'... remote: Counting objects: 447, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (186/186), done. remote: Total 447 (delta 272), reused 431 (delta 260) Receiving objects: 100% (447/447), 111.04 KiB | 137 KiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (272/272), done. Felix-Cohens-MacBook-Pro-2:~ felix$ cd whippet/ Felix-Cohens-MacBook-Pro-2:whippet felix$ git submodule update --init Submodule 'lib/optionparser' (git://github.com/dxw/optionparser.git) registered for path 'lib/optionparser' Cloning into 'lib/optionparser'... fatal: unable to connect to github.com: github.com[0: 204.232.175.90]: errno=Connection refused

Clone of 'git://github.com/dxw/optionparser.git' into submodule path 'lib/optionparser' failed

Seems to work if I manually check out optionparser using the https protocol from the lib directory, but not if I update the submodules file.

Git is strange. There may be firewall issues on the network I'm on.

Suspect it's something along these lines: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7605469/git-submodules-pulling-into-a-new-clone-of-the-super-project

Some more code I copied and pasted...https://gist.github.com/mrchrisadams/4b0bddf18de5d482d693

Hi Felix. I think the most likely explanation is that it's a firewall blocking port 9418. I've updated the .gitmodules file to use the https:// clone URI.

Yup, I think that's what we pinned it down to here, too. Still, can't hurt for people in future. Whippet just saved my ass, btw.
