Description wertigon 2020-11-26 09:02:07 UTC 
lz4 recently changed the name of their default branch from 'master' to 'dev'. This leads to the recipe not finding the proper hashes, breaking the build.

A short-term solution is to add the branch name to the recipe.

Longer term, bitbake should save the name of the default branch and use that instead of assuming the default branch name is master, but this is outside the scope of this bug.

Relevant output:

Comment 1 Richard Purdie 2020-11-30 13:47:53 UTC 
We do need to update the recipe. Its not really possible to store the mappings each different upstream use so we'll just have to update the SRC_URIs are upstream projects change. I've sent a patch to update this recipe, thanks for reporting.
