[OE-core] Downloads from sourceforge.net

Wed Jul 13 14:24:22 UTC 2016

Just FYI

If you're seeing a lot of do_fetch failures because of SRC_URI checksums
mismatch, be aware that there is some issue with sourceforge.net, all my
source archive downloads (with wget) download just this HTML:

wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/gptfdisk/gptfdisk/0.8.10/gptfdisk-0.8.10.tar.gz

<html><head>
<title>SourceForge</title>
<!-- <script src="/js/jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script> -->
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script>
<script src="//sourceforge.net/js/mirrors.js"></script>
<script src="/js/sf.js"></script>
<script>
var DR_loc = DR_parse_hash_url();
if (DR_loc) {
    DR_sf_main(DR_loc);
} else {
    window.location.href = 'http://sourceforge.net/home.html';
}
</script>
</head><body>
<noscript>
We're sorry -- the Sourceforge site is currently in Disaster Recovery mode, and currently requires
the use of javascript to function.  Please check back later.

</body></html>

Which of course has different checksums than tarball with sources.

You can see similar message if you try to access e.g. their blog (to find out if it's already
known issue for them):
http://sourceforge.net/blog/
or
http://sourceforge.net/blog/category/sitestatus/

Until it's resolved continue to use your better-be-already-populated premirrors.
