[jira] [Commented] (BIGTOP-24) Errors downloading tarballs from dist.apache.org via curl

["Andrew Bayer (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-24?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13087318#comment-13087318 ] 

Andrew Bayer commented on BIGTOP-24:
------------------------------------

Patch changes the download location for the various Apache tarballs to use the Makefile-defined APACHE_MIRROR variable, which I've also changed to default to use apache.osuosl.org, which I generally find to be faster than ibiblio.

I should note that this approach could cause problems if a Bigtop build is trying to find a version of one of the component projects that is no longer available in the main Apache download/mirror area, i.e., a particularly old version. But for now, I don't think that's an issue we really need to worry about, and we can cross that bridge if/when we get to it.

> We're seeing weird problems with downloading tarballs from dist.apache.org (and possibly other sites) barfing partway through. I'm going to try to use a dedicated mirror rather than dist.a.o so that we get more reliable d/ls.
