Independent of modularization, ryppl, or anything else, is it time to start a discussion on the main list about moving to Git?

I'm already a convert to DVCS's, so in principle migration to Git seems like a good thing to me, but on a practical level I find I can't run through the Ryppl 'Getting Started' guide because our corporate internet gateways block or restrict the git protocol. Dropping back to http only works for the first step, presumably because the submodule download reverts to the git protocol.

I recognise of course that this is local issue for me, but I imagine I will not be alone.

You are not alone Robert. I think HTTPS *and* at least read-only access through HTTP is a must. Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net Charter Member of OSGeo, http://osgeo.org Member of ACCU, http://accu.org
