Bug 106552 – [EFL][jhbuild] Use tarballs for gstreamer instead of git

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKit EFL

[Chris Dumez]

Due to networking problems on the build bots, using git in jhbuild should be avoided or jhbuild will sometimes fail like this:
http://build.webkit.org/builders/EFL%20Linux%2064-bit%20Debug%20WK2/builds/7876

Using tarballs is safer because they are cached and require no network operation if the checksum matches.

My plan in that bug was to make GTK use tarballs as well and add autogen-sh="configure" to the entries to fix problems with automake 1.13 + autogen.sh.

Would you like to do that in this patch or should I do that myself elsewhere?

I think we can do this in separate patches. I do not want to mix different changes in one patch. This patch is really about using tarballs instead of GIT to work around our networking problems on the bots.

ok. I agree that we should avoid using git.
