The cr.deepin.io git repository is wildly unreliable, or outright unreachable. They maintain a mirror of those git sources on github[1], and as a bonus, github offers the ability to download tarball snapshots of tagged releases[2].

Switching to point to github instead of their server would make building the packages far more reliable, and using the tarball snapshots would additionally speed source retrieval. Thoughts?

Reason for closing:  Implemented
Additional comments about closing:  Current deepin (1.9.38) is sourced from github rather than cr.deepin.io, as requested.

I switched to use cr.deepin.io because their GitHub sync was frequently broken and new code and tags were not available in GitHub for some days after each new release.

Github appeared to be in sync with all the recent changes to packages, and their servers are reliable. If cr.deepin.io works for you, you can stick with that.

This is just a request because these packages aren't building as is for Arch Linux ARM due to cr.deepin.io being basically useless, and it jams up the builders for hours until git inevitably times out. With the current sources, I'll just end up dropping the entire suite of packages since it's not worth the time and resources.

It is in sync currently, but not always. I am also building the packages in DE or FR servers, not sure why it didn't work well for you.

USA for me, and even now it's not connecting for me from both here and the Netherlands. Currently, I'm showing only 48% build completion on the suite across all 4 architectures. It's no big deal, just wanted to ask before I took any actions on my side.
