RE: Clone the repo

Hi Corinna

Thank you for your response

Using git clone git://sourceware.org/git/newlib-cygwin.git I got

> fatal: unable to connect to sourceware.org:
> sourceware.org[0: 209.132.180.131]: errno=Invalid argument

Using git clone https://sourceware.org/git/newlib-cygwin.git
It apparently did nothing for about 2 minutes and then completed.

Regards
Dave Regan

Wrong path.  Try

  git clone git://sourceware.org/git/newlib-cygwin.git

or

  git clone https://sourceware.org/git/newlib-cygwin.git


HTH,
