FYI: Some github URLs that ports framework uses to fetch by hash fail with no apparent reason. Here are two examples: https://codeload.github.com/grame-cncm/guidolib/tar.gz/2ec126d https://codeload.github.com/libretro/picodrive/tar.gz/40cd7bc I've contacted GitHub, they acknowledged the problem, but offered no solution besides of "we are working on this". Below is my communication with GitHub support. Yuri --- Hi Yuri, Thanks for reaching out about this, and sorry for delayed response! We've taken a look at the trouble you're experiencing, and suspect that this might be a bug, so we've opened an internal issue for our engineers to investigate further. While we don't yet have a specific ETA on a fix, we'll be sure to update you as soon as there's any news to share. Also, thank you for the wonderful detail in your email! It helped enormously with our initial investigations. Warm regards, Friday Looking at two projects: one tarball fetch succeeds, the other one fails. Fetching the tarball of https://github.com/libretro/emux using https://codeload.github.com/libretro/emux/tar.gz/df14439 - succeeds. Fetching the tarball of https://github.com/libretro/picodrive using https://codeload.github.com/libretro/picodrive/tar.gz/40cd7bc - fails. Both URLs are built from {account}/{project}/{hash} combination in the same way. Both should succeed. This is also how FreeBSD ports download tarballs.
