When trying to install valgrind-devel here on macos 10.13.3 I get the following failure in the valgrind-devel.log file:

I noticed a similar error last night when trying to update valgrind-devel to the latest commit. I didn't try the existing version (which I already had installed).

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I get the same error. It fetches for a few minutes, then times out.

[kencu (Ken)]

I betcha https might work...

[kencu (Ken)]

https didn't work, but using macports newer git version did

    fetch.type      git
+    git.cmd         ${prefix}/bin/git
    git.url         http://sourceware.org/git/valgrind.git
    git.branch      0a5ff8c309d18778bb919a1a661a1976b04a6483

[raimue (Rainer Müller)]

I cannot reproduce the problem. I assume this was a temporary problem on the server-side.

@Ken: Feel free to push updates to the valgrind-devel port whenever you want. I am not using it much anymore, so I often forget updating it.
