I checked last night from several different devices and IPs from two different ISPs, with curl too. https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v7.x/ gave a 403 and the tar gave a 404. It also persisted for at least an hour. Given that it was from several different connections, I don't think it was a network issue.

Regardless, whatever it was, today it's available and the build worked. Thanks for this package!

@dafta The tarball is still on the CDN. linux-7.1.1.tar.xz returns HTTP 200 right now, and kernel.org keeps every point release (7.0.x and 7.1 through 7.1.3 are all present), so it wasn't removed upstream.

A 404 on that exact URL is almost always network-side: a firewall, proxy, DNS filter, or ISP/corporate block between you and cdn.kernel.org, or a transient CDN edge blip. Worth trying:

• Just retry the build. Transient edge 404s clear on their own.
• Run curl -IL https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v7.x/linux-7.1.1.tar.xz and check for 200. A 404 or a redirect to a login/captive-portal page means the block is on your side.
• If you're on a VPN, proxy, or corporate/school network, test from a different connection.

One process note: please open bug reports on the GitHub tracker (https://github.com/jetm/mediatek-mt7927-dkms/issues) rather than here. AUR comments are easy to miss, and I triage everything on GitHub. Thanks.

The build seems to fail because the kernel source is no longer available at the CDN.

@BujuArena. I am unable to reproduce the failure, but I have updated the package where I believe the problem could be. Please, try again. Thank you for reporting.

When I tried to update, dkms.conf was invalid. This is because the sed -i in prepare() modifies dkms.conf in $startdir, which dirties the git working tree and causes stale files on the next git pull. Please change it to operate on a copy in $srcdir instead to prevent update issues.

@hlechner Please try again, as it has been fixed. Thank you for reporting it.

In this version still fail to pass the sha256 but now instead of both files (dkms.conf and extract_firmware.py) now just failed on dkms.conf

The last commit that compile without any error is: git checkout 8a7600a

Thanks

@eris.illustrious Reverted to 2.9 as 2.10 is not ready. Thank you for reporting the problem.

Both dkms.conf and extract_firmware.py fail to pass their sha256 checks for version 2.10-1
