This is not a problem with Buildroot.
First of all, two downloads are attempted: one from the vim mercurial repository directly, and since it fails, a fallback to sources.buildroot.net.

The latter does not contain the vim package, but this is only a fallback.

The real problem is that in your run, the vim server did not respond. This may be a temporary issue with the vim server (googlecode), or a connection problem due to proxy issues.

I have just tested, and the download works fine here.
Have you tried this again at another time?

Have you checked your proxy correctly?

The sources.buildroot.org machine didn't had mercurial installed, so vim didn't get mirrored. I've manually put the tarball online now, and will install mercurial.

Hi all,

Thanks for all of your quick comments and feedback.

What Thomas mentioned is exact what I'm encountered: I was trying this build within a uncontrolled firewall which does not allow "Mercurial port".

According to Peter's solution: I tried downloading the vim-*** to "dl/" folder and "make", the buildroot was finished successfully.

I'll to delete the dl/vim-*** package and try if Peter's solution is working.

Will update once completed.


Thanks

Hi buildroot support,

The problem disappears now according to my last rebuild with the same setting.
Now I can download and successfully build the system without any tricky.

Thanks all for your quick help.


Cheers.
