Description Ross Burton 2018-05-16 03:55:40 UTC 
We shouldn't be using github /archive/ URLs in recipes because the resulting tarball isn't reliable.

For example https://github.com/madler/pigz/archive/v1.2.tar.gz

Vague pseudo-expression to match is https?://github.com/*/*/archive/*

Patchtest should check for this and emit an error.

or:
    grep -r -l -E github\\.com/.*/archive/ *
Comment 2 Randy MacLeod 2020-03-26 17:26:14 UTC 
Paul, would you like to add this check?
