Why are the submodules being loaded over https?
Basically, there are two options: 1) an absolute externals path, which always overrules the initial clone url -- this can be a problem for people who cannot clone over https. 2) a relative externals path, which breaks for people cloning from e.g. github, where the urls are not /pywikibot/externals/httplib2 but pywikibot-externals-httplib2 Would it help if we switch to git:// instead of https://?
While it cloned the submodules over https, the clone recursive worked for me, so I have updated the bug summary to reflect this. The "error: SSL certificate problem: self signed certificate in certificate chain while accessing ..." doesnt appear in my output, so something has radically changed since October 2013, which is probably masking this bug. Either the certificate has been changed, or this problem only existed in an earlier git version. $ git clone --recursive ssh://jayvdb@gerrit.wikimedia.org:29418/pywikibot/core.git Cloning into 'core'... remote: Counting objects: 2792, done remote: Finding sources: 100% (2373/2373) remote: Getting sizes: 100% (710/710) remote: Compressing objects: 100% (5777484/5777484) remote: Total 16923 (delta 1184), reused 16381 (delta 1136) Receiving objects: 100% (16923/16923), 27.47 MiB | 1.12 MiB/s, done.
