Description Jan Matějka (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-08-16 22:37:14 UTC
thirpartymirror github api is broken.

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Robin Johnson archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2013-08-17 00:28:12 UTC
Github has ceased providing their Uploads service. All ebuilds using https://github.com/downloads and mirror://github/ need to be manually inspected & fixed.
Comment 2 Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2019-09-15 17:07:55 UTC
FWICS old URLs work today.  I'm going to verify them now, and inline mirror://github.

    thirdpartymirrors: Remove github
    
    GitHub has deactivated the old downloads API in ~2013.  While the URLs
    seem to work for previously uploaded archives, no new archives can
    be uploaded this way and old archive URLs are not really visible
    anywhere.  Furthermore, the mirror entry existed only to provide hacky
    short-cut in download access which stopped working anyway.
    
    All of the remaining mirror://github uses have been inlined, so just
    remove the entry.
