Cannot create musl based native image

[edigonzales]

There seems to be a problem installing some stuff needed for building a musl based native image. I get timeouts when the action tries to setup musl:

Setting up musl for GraalVM Native Image...
  connect ETIMEDOUT 104.232.42.245:80
  Waiting 11 seconds before trying again
  connect ETIMEDOUT 104.232.42.245:80
  Waiting 17 seconds before trying again
  Error: connect ETIMEDOUT 104.232.42.245:80

A quick look into the code makes me think that this is the problem: https://github.com/graalvm/setup-graalvm/blob/main/src/features.ts#L20

It tries to download something from http://more.musl.cc (104.232.42.245) which cannot be resolved.

Thanks for raising this. Was this just a temporary problem? The domain seems to work again. If you could restart your builds and let us know whether it works now, that'd be great.

It did not work on July 30, 17:16 CEST. Then I changed to non-musl in one repo. While working on another repo on August 2, 16:31 CEST it did work. Few minutes later it was broken.

I added a github action scheduler to one repo to see if it's conditional on the time of day.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not:

Thanks for checking! Looks like we'll have to do something about this. Will look into mirroring the external dependency somehow.

Could you please monitor your builds for a few more hours and check whether this problem has now been resolved? If not, please re-open this issue.

All green for the last 12h. Thanks.
