            Bug ID: 259283
           Summary: multimedia/libv4l download source from github always
                    fails after 15 min, no alternative site
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)

FreeBSD hack.SFT.local 12.2-STABLE FreeBSD 12.2-STABLE r370671 GENERIC  amd=
64
(using 2021Q4 ports tree)

while attempting to build multimedia/v4l_compat for x11/mate (v4l_compat us=
es
libv4l downloads) the file at

=20
https://codeload.github.com/torvalds/linux/tar.gz/v5.13-rc2?dummy=3D/torval=
ds-linux-v5.13-rc2_GH0.tar.gz

repeatedly failed to complete the download.  it always stopped at about 100=
Mb
(total file size closer to 180Mb).  There was no alternative for download.

I have a shared host web server with a fat pipeline off site, and it was ab=
le
to download the entire file directly.  I then downloaded it from the shared
host locally (it takes around 30 minutes).  The port built as expected.  Gi=
thub
was apparently cutting the file short after around 15 minutes of downloadin=
g,
with no ability to pick up where you left off.

Unfortunately, there are no other mirrors available for this file.  I attem=
pted
'make fetch' more than once with similar results.  wget is unable to recover
from a partial download as the file size is not known during download.

because download from github is NOT reliable, please at least mirror this on
the freebsd.org repo and/or alter the priority of download so that a subseq=
uent
fetch from a mirror repo actually works.


this is the typical build error:
