Distfiles for x265 can't be accessed

[RossComputerGuy]

System

• xuname: Void 5.10.12_1 x86_64 AuthenticAMD notuptodate rrrrmmnFFFFF
• package: x265-3.4_1

Expected behavior

The do-fetch step should finish

Actual behavior

=> x265-3.4_1: installing host dependencies: nasm-2.15.05_1 nasm-2.15.05_1 cmake-3.19.3_1 ...
=> x265-3.4_1: running do-fetch hook: 00-distfiles ...
=> x265-3.4_1: fetching distfile 'x265_3.4.tar.gz'...
https://bitbucket.org/multicoreware/x265/downloads/x265_3.4.tar.gz: Not Found
=> ERROR: x265-3.4_1: failed to fetch x265_3.4.tar.gz.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

./xbps-src -N pkg x265

They seem to have removed it.

It's the same link that http://x265.org/v3-4-is-released/ has

There is this repo https://bitbucket.org/multicoreware/x265_git/src/master/ but it doesn't contain a 3.4 release. You will have to use our distfile cache for now.

[RossComputerGuy]

Alright, what's the link for it on the distfile cache?

[ericonr]

The README explains how to use a distfiles mirror, just look for it.

[ericonr]

Anyway, we need to find a new upstream, maybe? idk

[RossComputerGuy]

Alright and yeah, let's keep this issue open until we find a better mirror

https://bitbucket.org/multicoreware/x265_git/get/3.4.tar.gz would this work? This is how Arch Linux does it: https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/blob/packages/x265/trunk/PKGBUILD#L20

I changed these variables and it builds for me.

[ericonr]

Ah nice, it isn't listed in downloads but the tag is still there. https://bitbucket.org/multicoreware/x265_git/downloads/?tab=downloads and https://bitbucket.org/multicoreware/x265_git/downloads/?tab=tags .

It seems they moved from mercurial to git, and made a new repo for it. Arch is still using the mercurial repo and they will fail to fetch the package.

Please make a PR to fix.

[RossComputerGuy]

Yeah, I'll make a PR with it.
