Subject: Git server issues?
Date: Thu, 01 Apr 2021 21:35:11 +1300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <b22ffe29-37ff-4c97-ad4e-7625c553d87b@www.fastmail.com> (raw)

Hello,

Cloning the spectrum nixpkgs repo seems to consistently fail, after downloading all the objects, with:

    fetch-pack: unexpected disconnect while reading sideband packet
    fatal: early EOF
    fatal: fetch-pack: invalid index-pack output

Have confirmed this across a couple of networks. Relatedly, the git web interface seems to always 504 Gateway Timeout while a clone is in progress.

I wonder if the git server is configured to only handle one thread/request at a time, and the clone process involves 2 concurrent requests? (either that, or the server is actually overloaded).

fyi, as a workaround: clone nixpkgs from elsewhere, then add the spectrum nixpkgs remote and fetch - it will also be much faster :)

Thanks
- Jamie McClymont
