PGP public key

Hi Emmanuel,

Thanks for your interest in GStreamer.

You do not need a developer account with ssh access to contribute to GStreamer. You can simply attach patches in bugzilla where they will be reviewed and then committed. See

https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/contribute/

for more details.

We only give developer accounts to contributors who a record of substantial contributions over a longer period of time.

Hello Tim,

Thanks for quick reply. I understant your point.

However my trouble is to get access to sources, and not develop (not yet).
I use a linux distribution based on yocto with a rule requesting a git clone of GStreamer. (Please, see the log extract in attachment)

So:
 - Perhaps the distribution iq wrongly set, and i have to fight against it
 - Or how to get this git clone of gstreamer based on this yocto rule.

To complete the picture, i am behind a company firewell, and i have to go through the company proxy. The 'git' protocol used is based on ssh. And so i 'just' need to put my ssh public key on freedesktop to please this yocto.

Try with failure:
git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/common

Tim,

But perhaps i missed something, and you have a good practice to please this yocto rule.

Thanks and regards.

You're not going to get ssh access just because you work behind a firewall :)

You should be able to clone using the http protocol in your setup:
https://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/gstreamer/gstreamer.git

In any case, this is not a support forum, please go to the gstreamer-devel mailing list or the #gstreamer IRC channel for support, thanks!

Also, I'm sure someone in your company has figure out how to do this with your setup already, maybe also ask your colleagues.
