Diagnostics

manually testing the URLs used (with wget NOT redirecting) gave the same issue.

For some reason the URLs being invoked by buildroot's support/download/dl-wrapper script do not seem to be working right now at github. Not sure where the 'blame' for this issue lies, with a) this config, b) the buildroot wrapper or c) the github service.

Background

• This config seems to correctly use the github helper syntax
• I seem to recall having successfully build this with buildroot 2018.02.5, but I have no specific evidence to hand right now
• Although there have been historic issues with github urls I cannot find any other reference to recent similar issues with other projects

Workaround

It would appear that buildroot is flexible enough to skip downloads already done, so just do it 'manually' using the current published URL for the release on the github project

cd /home/$USER/Downloads/buildroot-2018.05.1/
mkdir -p dl/aixlog/
wget https://github.com/badaix/aixlog/archive/v1.2.1.tar.gz -O dl/aixlog/aixlog-v1.2.1.tar.gz 

Re-running make at this point successfully gets past the issue with that project, but it falls over again at the next external project. So here are the rest of the workarounds you need:

mkdir -p dl/asio/
wget https://github.com/chriskohlhoff/asio/archive/asio-1-12-0.tar.gz -O dl/asio/asio-asio-1-12-0.tar.gz
mkdir -p dl/popl/
wget https://github.com/badaix/popl/archive/v1.2.0.tar.gz -O dl/popl/popl-v1.2.0.tar.gz 
mkdir -p dl/snapcast/
wget https://github.com/badaix/snapcast/archive/v0.15.0.tar.gz -O dl/snapcast/snapcast-v0.15.0.tar.gz 

now just rerun make and it seems to work ok.

Had the same issue today when I wanted to update the Kernel to the one that is used in buildroot 2018.08.
I hope that this is just some temporary server issue.

Oh, there's a new buildroot. I will try that soon, once I've finished testing on my current images. I really hope I can make them work as this looks like a perfect wireless audio appliance solution. Many thanks @badaix for creating this SnapOS project, introducing me to the world of buildroot, and of course the fantastic snapcast!

Well, it's buildroot 2018.08 rc1. The final version will be released by end of the month. Usually I'm trying to keep up with the latest buildroot releases, just like today, and there I figured that there must be some general issue with GitHub hosted stuff (in my case the kernel)

I just did a successful rebuild. Downloading from the GitHub mirrors is working again.

I can confirm that Github is once more correctly serving the source for this project. Thanks for your support. Closed
