From 98f62848737c2347c0a9c08816aecc92506b0c7b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Wladimir J. van der Laan" Date: Wed, 7 Mar 2018 14:36:21 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Merge #12619: doc: Give hint about gitian not able to download 08e0855b9 Give hint about gitian not able to download (kallewoof) Pull request description: Gitian fails to perform downloads right now on my set up. This can be circumvented by first checking out the tag being built and then doing the depends download step before running `gbuild`. This should of course be fixed in gitian, but having this note until it's fixed is definitely useful.
