Downloading Ardour's source code (via git)

#1

Yesterday I updated my version of TortoiseGit here but this morning I can’t ‘pull’ or ‘fetch’ from Ardour’s repo. Here’s the error message I see:-

Capture-17

Is that something I need to update (i.e. something I need to get from the Ardour dev team)? Or does it look more like some issue with TortoiseGit?

#2

I don’t know. Nothing has changed, and I can git pull just fine.

I assume you have used a ssh key (not password) in the past just fine?

#3

Thanks Robin - I’ve a feeling it generated some keys in EdDSA format (whatever that is??) but there seems to be another option called SSH-1 (RSA). Should I maybe try that?

Though having said that… immediately before that error I saw this message box which seems to refer to SSH format so I’m totally confused.

hmm here I get

and I get the same as robin.

And I get this - but I’ve no idea why it’s wrong or how to correct it:-

ssh -o VisualHostKey=yes git.ardour.org

Ah - I’ve just noticed that your keys are in ECDSA format whereas mine got generated in EdDSA format so that’s most likely the problem. I’ve now generated a key pair in ECDSA format but I don’t know what to do with them :confounded:

There’s a guy who’s been helping me on the TortoiseGit forum but he’s gone very quiet so I guess he’s a bit flummoxed himself.

I must admit, you’ve got me wondering now Robin… I can fetch and pull just fine from Mixbus’s repo - so I’m wondering now if maybe there was always some issue with Ardour’s repo and I had to use password access.

Is there even such a thing these days?

I get the same as John :

peder@opensuse:> ssh -o VisualHostKey=yes git.ardour.org
