 Hello,

 Are there any drawbacks involved in changing the git.url fields from,
 e.g., git://gitorious.org/dbusmenu/dbusmenu-qt.git to
 http://git.gitorious.org/dbusmenu/dbusmenu-qt.git?

 The problem with the the git:// protocol is that it uses its own port
 (9418, if I am not mistaken), which is blocked in many corporate and
 university environments - so using git:// urls breaks MacPorts for a lot
 of users, I suppose.

 If there are no drawbacks involved in using the http:// protocol, it might
 be a good idea to change the Portfiles to use http:// instead of git://.
