http://linuxbios.org/index.php/Download_LinuxBIOS says that if you are behind a firewall that blocks the svn port, you can work around this by using https for checkout.
However, in practice this doesn't really work, because at some point it will run into the "fetching external item" hack for the util/ directory, and hang there.
Ouch. Should we completely switch over to https/webdav maybe?
I think it's unnecessary. Currently, you can fetch any of the dirs (LinuxBIOSv2, LinuxBIOSv3, util) through either of these methods, it is only the "external item" hack that breaks this flexibility.
I would suggest removing the external item hack, and referring to the real util/ URL instead.
What do you mean by "referring"?
I mean telling users (in the wiki) to do:
svn co svn://linuxbios.org/repos/trunk/util
for normal setups and:
svn co https://linuxbios.org/svn/trunk/util
for firewalled setups.
