Hello,

The git:// protocol is no longer available and we announced its deprecation
almost a decade ago so people had time to prepare. However the
https://git.yoctoproject.org/git/ style URIs are still supposed to work.
This is a frustrating bug. A single mirror was missing the mapping, which I
have now added. All the others were already working correctly.

If the problem persists please email [email protected] for more
troubleshooting.

I already fixed it by updating the xml files to point to the new URIs,<br>
but things were broken until I noticed the breakage and did the update.<br>
<br>
I have worked as sysadmin in the past and is not that hard to add some<br>
redirections on Apache or Nginx to keep the old URIs working.<br>
By not doing that, the result is that some third-party CIs broke and<br>
several users got annoyed. I really hope next time this can be avoided.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
