Thanks for trying out the archive at http://simos.info/pub/GNOME-REPOS.07May09.tar.gz There has been a discussion at gnome-infrastructure on this issue, and there are now easier instructions, http://live.gnome.org/TranslationProject/GitHowTo#head-f7ae4c567cd3e4aa8a76bdcab8264068de68cf23 What you need to do is simply run the command (assuming you are in brasero): git config remote.origin.url ssh://vasude...@git.gnome.org/git/brasero Then, with git reset --hard you will get the working copy for 'master', and you can start working. In order to update your local tree, you run git pull --rebase and you get your local brasero tree updated to what is available at git.gnome.org, in about a few seconds! The error message you get above means that the command tried to connect to git.gnome.org while you either did not have an internet connection, or momentarily the name resolution failed. Hope this helps, Simos _______________________________________________ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
