Hello,
I'm one of the maintainers of MacPorts git port.
A long time ago, we had problems pulling extremely large archives over
HTTP on PowerPC machines. By large, I mean on the order of 500
megabytes: I was testing using an embedded Linux distribution.
We "fixed" the problem by turning off CURL_MULTI and ignored the
problem. Yes, bad form, I know.
Our problems were against curl 7.16.2.
However, in recent git's, CURL_MULTI is required to do an HTTP push, so
we've had users complaining.
Curl is up to 7.19.0, they may have fixed our problem. Unfortunately,
the distribution I used for testing is gone now. Putting up a local
archive doesn't exhibit the problem either.
Is anybody aware of a very large HTTP accessible repository that
wouldn't mind me doing a few test pulls from? By large, I mean >500
megabytes of network traffic for a single pull.
thanks,
Bryan
