Just wanted to note this too... I am one of the affected ones... I think that it is very important to have http, and even https for formal resources. git://, svn://, rsync:// or ssh+X:// are inaccessible for a large group of users. Also using none secured protocols, exposes users to man-in-the-middle attacks. Best Regards, Alon Bar-Lev. -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
