#288 Download does not cope with HTTP redirects
Closed: Invalid Opened by daniels.

Reopen Issue

SSIA, fedpkg does not follow HTTP redirects. I'm assuming whatever tools Fedora developers and the distribution build infrastructure uses does respect redirects, otherwise the package could never have been built.

Is there another tool I should be using instead of fedpkg? I want to get the source for packages currently in Fedora, modify them (in my case, patch isync), install them locally, and in some cases also make them available via a COPR.

This is quite possibly the same problem as #287. If you run fedpkg -v -d sources, it will print the URL it's downloading from. It should be https://src.fedoraproject.org/repo/pkgs/rpms/isync/isync-1.3.0.tar.gz/sha512/b5186f2afe97cab58ce55d3ec19ae7371676ae614448614a9e3e02d09662c34b74e559f0926661fa0300ab22dab9e2e9089b78ee38b94141ff3f8b4d75578ffa/isync-1.3.0.tar.gz. There should be no redirects.

Please note that fedpkg sources is downloading only from dist-git lookaside cache. If you want to download the sources from upstream, consider using spectool.

If this is still happening even with up-to-date configuration, please reopen this ticket and add output of fedpkg -v -d sources.
