Description Vincent Brillault 2023-04-17 11:58:47 UTC
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/112.0
Build Identifier: 

The alpine sources seem to be inaccessible: the spec file indicate that the source are at http://alpine.x10host.com/ (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/alpine/blob/rawhide/f/alpine.spec#_12) but that site doesn't seem to exist right now (April 17th 2023). Checking online resolvers confirms that the DNS seems to be gone right now (so not just a local DNS issue).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download the spec file (e.g. `wget https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/alpine/raw/rawhide/f/alpine.spec`
2. Try to download its source (e.g. `spectool -g alpine.spec`)
Actual Results:  
Getting http://alpine.x10host.com/alpine/patches/alpine-2.26/alpine-2.26.tar.xz to ./alpine-2.26.tar.xz

Comment 1 josef radinger 2023-04-17 18:54:03 UTC
maybe the new homepage: 
https://alpineapp.email/alpine/

i try to reach the mailaddress from https://alpineapp.email/alpine/contact.html

Comment 2 josef radinger 2023-04-17 19:19:37 UTC
got confirmation via email from chappa that https://alpineapp.email/alpine/ is correct. this is the address in the old sources and should be the correct and valid maintainer.

arch linux has the same upstream
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/alpine

Comment 3 Fedora Admin user for bugzilla script actions 2023-04-26 00:04:54 UTC
This package has changed maintainer in Fedora. Reassigning to the new maintainer of this component.

Comment 4 Steve Traylen 2023-04-26 07:36:32 UTC
Agree that 

http://alpine.x10host.com/alpine/patches/alpine-%{version}/alpine-%{version}.tar.xz

is the new source.

Unfortunately however comparing what is in fedora cache for 2.26 and this upstream they are not the same:

contacting upstream again.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 39 development cycle.
Changing version to 39.
