New server for the hostap.git repository

Hello Jouni,

Thanks for your work, I have discovered this, several days ago.

It is possible to add an automatic mirror on GitHub too?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Neustradamus

Subject: New server for the hostap.git repository

I've moved the hostap.git repository from w1.fi to a separate git.w1.fi
server. The HTTP/HTTPS-based cases are automatically redirected from the
old URLs, but to avoid extra latency, I would recommend replacing them
to point directly to the new server. The git protocol cases (e.g., use
of "git clone git:/w1.fi/hostap.git") does not redirect automatically,
so that will need to be replaced manually. I'm planning on stopping
updating the repository on the previously used server and then stop the
server on it completely to force this to happen. To avoid getting cut in
updates, I'd recommend updating those references now.

The old and to be removed URLs:

git://w1.fi/hostap.git
http://w1.fi/hostap.git
https://w1.fi/hostap.git
http://w1.fi/cgit/
https://w1.fi/cgit/

The new URLs that replace those:

git://git.w1.fi/hostap.git
http://git.w1.fi/hostap.git
https://git.w1.fi/hostap.git
http://git.w1.fi/cgit/
https://git.w1.fi/cgit/

In other words, the only change is for the server name from w1.fi to
git.w1.fi.


PS.

As a remainder, I would also point out that making a full clone of the
repository hundreds of times a day is not reasonable way of checking for
new changes. Please use incremental updates (e.g., git fetch instead of
git pull) and/or local clones of the repository if you need to get this
into multiple servers used for builds, etc.

Not that I think anyone who this next part would be applicable to would
read or follow this, but I guess I could anyway mention here that I
consider web crawlers that do not follow robots.txt to be misbehaving
and if they flood the server with pointless requests through cgit, I'm
likely to start limiting access to it. It is pointless to try to fetch
every different possible commit and diff through cgit for various LLM
training purposes (etc.) when that same information could be efficiently
extracted from a cloned repository directly.
