But plenty of Cogito users are\nusing HTTP and I want to give them some time to upgrade to the latest\nGit which supports pulling packs over HTTP. I'd say at least two to\nthree weeks or me getting near the top of kernel.org object users,\nwhichever comes first. :-)\n\n-- \n\t\t\t\tPetr \"Pasky\" Baudis\nStuff: http://pasky.or.cz/\nIf you want the holes in your knowledge showing up try teaching\nsomeone. -- Alan Cox\n"}]}
