Installation broken by git:// URL of gobbledygook about i18n-abide HOT 10 CLOSED

0.0.16 installs fine, by the way.

from i18n-abide.

@Granjow This may have been a temporary problem you experienced. I did npm install git://github.com/lloyd/gobbledygook.git#3540426 just now, and this worked fine. Your error message suggests a generic network problem when connecting to gihub, a timeout on the connection.

Interesting. Here neither npm install nor git clone works, only HTTPS.
Could be the firewall then. What is the hash tag good for, by the way? Does
it refer to a revision?

@Granjow That's probably why Github shows the https-version of the clone url. HTTPS should not have any problems across networks/proxies/firewalls.

The strange numbers behind the hash is the first part of the git hash, that identifies the unique git revision, as you guessed. As long as it is unique for the project, you can choose the first 6 or 8 or as many as you like. Github uses 10 on their commit lists.

Replacing the git:// value with https://github.com/lloyd/gobbledygook/tarball/354042684056e57ca77f036989e907707a36cff2 should fix this. Please confirm. :)

Confirmed as working! Many thanks!

Thanks @Granjow, @sigurdga and @callahad !

This is still an issue for me. npm install git://github.com/lloyd/gobbledygook.git#3540426 gives a connection timeout. All other git operations (both via SSH and HTTPS) work well and as expected. Changing the package.json entry to the following will work: "gobbledygook": "git+ssh://[email protected]:lloyd/gobbledygook.git#3540426",.

PR #64 still needs merging. @ozten?

from i18n-abide.

Amusingly enough, we can use the same workaround to workaround the fact that npm is acting up for @ozten. For the time being, you can require:

"i18n-abide": "https://github.com/mozilla/i18n-abide/tarball/948443e584e70fc5d79756339eccf1b21afa6308",

to get the updated version.
