Resolving mirror.linux.org.au (mirror.linux.org.au)... failed: Name or service not known.
wget: unable to resolve host address ‘mirror.linux.org.au’

which causes certain fetches to fail and hence the fetchuri task fails.

I'd note this works fine on my own network so I believe its something about networking on the autobuilders.
Comment 2 Richard Purdie 2016-02-17 10:24:48 UTC 
I've realised the code was specifically heading to the .au mirror since it was the only server with the bz2 tarball on it. I've switched the recipe to use the general kernel mirror url format, and switched it to the .xz format. This means this is no longer a blocking issue on green builds. Leaving this open in case its something we need to fix but I remember there were some networking issues with kernel.org due to rack location. If its hard to fix, we don't need to now and can close this.

Since this is likely hard to fix and we don't need this now, mark as WONTFIX.
