Is it accessible via HTTP? You can get it from download.gnome.org, but for some reason the last GNOME release was 2.6 from 2009. So seems like "no." I think this is just a very broken firewall, but I know you're stuck with it.

I've not been able to find any way to access a mesa bundle using http... except on sourceforge but it is a few years old!
Created attachment 262338 [details] Proposed fix. I believe I've addressed review feedback (thank you) except for mesa. I haven't been able to find a good source for a mesa tarball. I rebased too but it looks like dependencies haven't been updated in the last month; I didn't have any conflicts.

All reviewed patches have been landed. Closing bug.
OK, so the git clone of mesa is REALLY slow... Carlos, could this be a problem for the bots? If so, maybe we should host our own mesa tarball somewhere, or just accept that this isn't going to work if a firewall is blocking ftp.
We could also try patching jhbuild to do bare clones.

The bots have set the the JHBUILD_MIRROR environment variable that allows them to use a local directory for catching the download products <http://trac.webkit.org/r166061>. Works great for tarballs, for git repositories I think also works but i'm not 100% sure. Just let me know if you notice some problem with the bots. However I find odd that we switched the mesa source from a tarball to a git repo just to avoid a ftp download. Maybe we should request to the freedesktop.org people that they made available the files also via http or https?
Not a bad suggestion. I've contacted the webmaster for mesa3d.org. His initial response seems positive.

Brian Paul (ebmaster for mesa3d.org) has generously made mesa tarballs available over http at: http://people.freedesktop.org/~brianp/mesa/ I've asked if it would be possible to make the page a more public/official looking URL... something like http://www.freedesktop.org/mesa/download.

Great! thanks for handling this. The xorg releases are available at http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/ so following the same naming scheme maybe http://mesa.freedesktop.org/releases/ is a good candidate

Any news regarding this?
(In reply to comment #15) > > Any news regarding this? Unfortunately, no. I haven't heard back. I just asked again. http://people.freedesktop.org/~brianp/mesa/ was set up and works. I'm hesitant about using it though - will it go away overnight when some house cleaning is done? When I first asked about getting a public download site, there was hesitancy as that was more involved - and I'm just one person that's asked for this. I did my best to explain that these downloads are done automatically when building webkit-gtk so it's not really just one person.

I rather use this non very official URL than waiting lot of time for a more official page with the tarballs. Actually, it seems that both ftp.freedesktop.org, and people.freedesktop.org are on the same machine, that is know as annarchy.freedesktop.org (looking at the DNS records), and developers have access to it according to http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/AccountRequests/ So, I guess that what brianp did is just a symlink to his homedir from the FTP public subdirectory. Should be fine meanwhile he don't deletes that. > When I first asked about getting a public download site, there was hesitancy > as that was more involved - and I'm just one person that's asked for this. > I did my best to explain that these downloads are done automatically when > building webkit-gtk so it's not really just one person. I think it should be simple to expose this files via http with a better URL, maybe we can open a bug requesting this on the freedesktop bugzilla if you don't get a positive response soon. Thanks.

I've opened https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=150470. I'll submit a patch to change back to tarball download (over http). If we get a better URL it'll be simple to start using it.
