Dear Étienne, thank you for contacting us directly. The ppl-devel mailing list has been relocated under a different domain (bugseng.com), we did not receive you emails. A notice informing of the relocation has been sent to all mailing list subscribers on Jan 22. Subject was: "PPL-devel mailing list relocation". Please, see the new PPL-devel home at: https://support.bugseng.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ppl-devel Thank you for the bug report, we will look at it as soon as possible. Can you please share with us a testcase to reproduce the error? Do you have any additional information that might be helpful?

Git clone error

Hello, I am trying to install PPL on a new machine running 24.04 LTS ubuntu. I have git version 2.43.0 https://www.bugseng.com/ppl-download/ppl-git seems to indicate that git clone should work, but I obtain the following error: :~$ git clone git://git.bugseng.com/ppl/ppl.git Cloning into 'ppl'... fatal: unable to connect to git.bugseng.com: git.bugseng.com[0: 79.60.221.62]: errno=Connection refused In an earlier exchange, Roberto suggested the following: "Again: do not use any bzip2 old distribution of PPL: use the Git version, devel branch." Thank you. Tryer
