libwebsockets.org is down

Open mkohanim opened this issue 2 years ago • 15 comments

Please help. We have an outstanding build which requires the latest source files (4.3.2) but the site is down.

The FreeBSD ports collection ran into the same issue. They switched to this URL:

https://codeload.github.com/warmcat/libwebsockets/tar.gz/v4.3.2?dummy=/warmcat-libwebsockets-v4.3.2_GH0.tar.gz

It appears to be up now again

Hi Daniel, yes, thank you. The website (/git) came backup yesterday and allowed us to proceed with our build.

With kind regards,

Michel Kohanim CEO

It seems to be back down.

Yeah... I know. It's natural state isn't being up... I have to make arrangements, pay for it and keep it going.

Is it possible to upload release archives on GitHub as backup?

diizzyy avatar Apr 05 '23 21:04 diizzyy

I will bring my git back up today, but FYI github will give you a tarball of a tag or branch without needing me to spend time on it

curl -L https://github.com/warmcat/libwebsockets/tarball/v4.3.2 -o dummy.tgz

lws-team avatar Apr 06 '23 06:04 lws-team

Yes, but that's not static and unlikely to share the same checksum as the one from main site.

diizzyy avatar Apr 06 '23 20:04 diizzyy

If you want a tarball of a tag, you can have it today from github as shown. If you have a higher grade of OCD than that, you can cache it or do whatever you like.

It's going to be an issue for pretty much any type of packaging (read pretty much any distro that tries to package it)

diizzyy avatar Apr 07 '23 19:04 diizzyy

What exactly do you think the problem is, that suddenly no build system can build a git tag, from github?

This is only telling you about gitohashi's code for using libarchive not setting the file dates before compressing it. It's not telling you about github or that there's any value in using github release things instead of the solution I gave you above, or that build systems can't just use git to fetch a tag, from github or whereever.

If you care about it enough to continue making me read about it, you're welcome to send a patch to force the date on the files before archiving them.

Is libwebsockets.org down again? Need urgently support and I was hope to find it there :(.

AlojzyB avatar Jan 30 '24 21:01 AlojzyB

Yep, it's down again. Can you perhaps upload static tarballs to the GitHub repo as backup? See also https://github.blog/2023-02-21-update-on-the-future-stability-of-source-code-archives-and-hashes/
