Tool/software:

Hey,

Sorry in advance for maybe writing to the wrong part of the forum...

I build an embedded Linux in a bitbake based buildsystem, which fetches the TI Released Kernel.

It seems to me, that the Link to fetch the tarball from may have changed or is missing.

Error Message in the log:

Fetcher failure for URL: 'https://git.ti.com/cgit/ti-linux-kernel/ti-linux-kernel/snapshot/ti-linux-kernel-09.02.00.001-rt.tar.gz'. Unable to fetch URL from any source.

My Recipe holds following snippet:

TI_TAG = "09.02.00.001-rt"

SRC_URI += " \
    https://git.ti.com/cgit/ti-linux-kernel/ti-linux-kernel/snapshot/ti-linux-kernel-${TI_TAG}.tar.gz \

When I try to open the link from the browser I receive an error:

Did the location of the tarball change? Did I miss any notice regarding this topic?
Is there an issue on my side or on the TI side?

Thanks

Daniel

Hi,

have a related issue. Even a couple of days ago I was able to get tarballs in my Buildroot like this:
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_TARBALL_LOCATION="">git.ti.com/.../ti-linux-kernel-6.1.142.tar.xz"
But it doesn't work any more for any of the kernel versions I try to pull.

Hi Artur,

Thanks for the report. We observed the tarballs are no longer available on git.ti.com. We are checking if it is intended or an accident. I will keep you posted.

Same issue for me, my build scripts are broken because of this issue. Hopefully it can be restored!

Hi Daniel & Stephane,

I got update from our IT team, the kernel snapshot tarballs won't be restored on git.ti.com. They are creating technical issues on the server. They might be migrated to other servers, but currently no plan for it.

Please switch your build to use git commit id as the Yocto build does.

Hi Bin,

thank you for your reply.

This is very disappointing for us.

We knew before that it is at least partial negligent to make our build rely on links in the public internet. That links may change can be expected...

Nevertheless we expected TI to be more "stable".

Hi Daniel,

Apologies for the inconvenience. The tarball files on git.ti.com caused several server down issues when improperly accessed from Internet, so now the IT team decided to remove the files.
