Topic: Build kernel download

The content of this topic has been archived on 24 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

I wanted to build OpenWRT 15.05.1, so I cloned the git repository, and checked out the tag pointing to the release.

Build fails when it tries to get the kernel.

It tries to download the kernel from these sites:

ftp.all.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/longterm/v3.18.23/linux-3.18.23.tar.xz
mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/linux-3.18.23.tar.xz
downloads.openwrt.org/sources/linux-3.18.23.tar.xz

from reading scripts/download.pl , i think, u can dl it manually with a web browser, checking signatures and md5sum > filename.hash, then rerun the make

Thanks. I wrote a small patch that fixes the URL issue. I'm building an automated build system, so manual download is not an option.
