But '... http: ...' does not. I am using bog-standard kdesrc-build-1.13, as per http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/kdesrc-build. That script uses http://anongit.kde.org/ as its default git repository and, in my case, clones all the KDE libraries and modules except strigi. So http: apparently does not work for cloning strigi. My installation of Firefox, networks, etc. is also bog-standard OpenSuSE 11.2 AFAIK. This build stuff *ought to work as advertised*. It is one of the "main entrances" to KDE development for new developers or for old developers like me who do not wish to do anything fancy, just build enough KDE libs, etc. to be able to compile and build a KDE app with the latest libs, in this case as preparation for nailing a problem with newer versions of Phonon, which will no longer play my app's sounds as of KDE 4.6. > I suspect either the version of git you have installed (which may be > too old, I have v1.7.4.1) or alternately a proxy being inserted by > your network provider which is interfering in the manner which git > uses to perform access over http.
