The commit 74cb33c22818b25d1b9c6d576352fc8249832d34 [1] transitioned
from ’url-fetch’ to ’git-fetch’ for missing upstream (even disappeared
one). I am proposing similar strategy:
First patch, replace ’url-fetch’ by ’git-fetch’ with creating a Git repo
from the build farm tarball and falling back to SWH. This does not
change the integrity checksum. And it avoids the “pressure“ on the
build farm.
Second patch, update the upstream source to the new good ’git-fetch’.
And this change the integrity checksum. Maybe upstream released a new
version.
WDYT?
