Mani,
It works for me ! Could you retry.
Fabien

@fspindle really? I retried. It fails on both my Ubuntu12.04LTS virtual machine and also on the fedora17 machine. Also checked with a colleague who has Ubuntu. It times out. same problem.

Fabien,
Could you try with https instead of git protocol?
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/laas/vision_visp.git

Works also.

It also works for me. (Ubuntu 11.10)
Is it still timing out today?
Aurélien

Merci Aurélien. And I tried on fedora17 machine today and it times out. Same error. What is your git version? Mine is git version 1.7.11.7

I tried cloning lagadic's visp_auto_tracker separately..And the flash mbt submodule times out and fails in a similar manner.

$ git clone --recursive https://www.github.com/lagadic/visp_auto_tracker.git

Cloning lagadic's repository also works for me. For information, I use Git 1.7.5.4.

To be sure I also asked Bertrand to test it. He has Git 1.8.1.4 and Fedora 18, and everything works fine for him too...

OK. thanks for the help. not weird. This is a network issue since the same happens on another machine on my network.

Just updating for information. The native git protocol uses port 443 for the main repo and port 9418 for the submodules. If this port is firewalled on the network, recursive clone times out and fails.

hey, i just wanted to say that I had the same exact error.

I tried generating the app while using my Universities wifi. They have a firewall which prevented me from connecting to github. As soon as I connected through my phone, it wokred no problem.

Hope this helps someone,

Cheers!
