Since this week-end, I am not able to build a package anymore because openh264 is not downloadable:

Is it a known problem ?

It’s trying to download from a directory that doesn’t exist…

https://codecs.fedoraproject.org/openh264/42/x86_64/os/

If you go up a directory, the repo works.

The following is where the openh264 packages are located.

In the context of COPR, this repository was not working. I will retry tonight, maybe the problem was just transient …

The problem is still present this morning:

Check the settings for your COPR for the bad URL?

  1. Login to copr
  2. goto the Settings tab
  3. Scroll down to the end of the 2. Build options sections where you will see the External Repositories: setting

What do you have listed in the External Repositories: ?

There was a:

https://codecs.fedoraproject.org/openh264/$releasever/$basearch/os/

In the repos section of the Build Options tabs. I removed this line. I will restart the problematic build.

The URL doesn’t look correct to me. I would expect it to be

https://codecs.fedoraproject.org/openh264/$releasever/$basearch/
