Description Juro Bystricky 2017-05-22 16:13:49 UTC 
Reported by https://autobuilder.yocto.io/builders/nightly-checkuri/builds/264/steps/BuildImages/logs/stdio:
ERROR: ed-1.9-r0 do_checkuri: Fetcher failure for URL: 'http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/ed/ed-1.9.tar.gz'. URL http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/ed/ed-1.9.tar.gz doesn't work
ERROR: ed-1.9-r0 do_checkuri: Function failed: do_checkuri
ERROR: Logfile of failure stored in: /home/pokybuild/yocto-autobuilder/yocto-worker/nightly-checkuri/build/build/tmp/work/i586-poky-linux/ed/1.9-r0/temp/log.do_checkuri.9634
NOTE: recipe ed-1.9-r0: task do_checkuri: Failed
ERROR: Task (/home/pokybuild/yocto-autobuilder/yocto-worker/nightly-checkuri/build/meta/recipes-extended/ed/ed_1.9.bb:do_checkuri) failed with exit code '1'

Manual check of the URL results in 404 not found. Closer inspection of https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/ed/ shows other versions, so it seems 1.9 was deliberately removed. The latest version is ed-1.14.tar.lz.
Seems the recipe recipes-extended/ed/ed_1.9.bb should be upgraded or a different URL should be used.
Comment 1 Maxin B. John 2017-06-01 13:57:22 UTC 
Since updating URL to downloads.yoctoproject.org fixes this warning, we don't have to upgrade this package.
