Description Joshua Lock 2017-01-05 11:33:05 UTC 
Workers on both clusters fail to fetch from zlib.net:

ERROR: zlib-1.2.8-r0 do_checkuri: Fetcher failure for URL: 'http://www.zlib.net/zlib-1.2.8.tar.xz'. URL http://www.zlib.net/zlib-1.2.8.tar.xz doesn't work

The same URL can be opened in my browser and fetched via wget on my workstation.

I tried fetching with wget on workers on both clusters and both failed:

Comment 1 Ross Burton 2017-01-05 16:14:12 UTC 
Those files appear to have been removed, and 1.2.10 is present instead.  Josh, can you try again with no mirrors or proxies?

I'm I'm right then I guess the zlib recipe should download from what appears to be official mirror on sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/libpng/files/zlib/
Comment 2 Michael Halstead 2017-01-05 16:22:25 UTC 
The current version at http://zlib.net/zlib-1.2.10.tar.gz works.

Both http://www.zlib.net/zlib-1.2.8.tar.xz and the canonical URL, wget http://zlib.net/zlib-1.2.8.tar.gz, are 404 not found so it looks like the project has deleted that release.

http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/mirror/sources/zlib-1.2.8.tar.xz is available if we need that version exactly.
Comment 3 Joshua Lock 2017-01-05 16:25:56 UTC 
I'll update the recipe to use the SF mirror
