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/ *
Paul, would you like to add this check?
