Bug#797552: vcswatch: Error when git repos hosted on Alioth use https protocol
Package: qa.debian.org
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I have noticed in the past week or so (starting mid-August 2015) that my
packages hosted on Alioth display ERROR under the VCS column of my DDPO
page [1]. The corresponding vcswatch page shows the error as, e.g.,
fatal: unable to access 'https://anonscm.debian.org/git/debian-science/
packages/frobby.git/': Failed to connect to anonscm.debian.org port 443:
Connection refused [2]
This feature use to work as expected (see, e.g., Google's cached version of the
frobby vcswatch page at [3]).
My guess is that this is due to the fact that I have used the https protocol
link in the Vcs-Git field of d/control in these packages. However, other
packages hosted elsewhere (e.g., GitHub) but using the https protocol seem fine
(see, e.g., [4]).
Is there anything that can be done to fix this?
Thanks!
Doug Torrance
