It assumes Github provides a .tar.xz file, but it doesn't: even if you request a .tar.xz file from Github, it gives you a gzip compressed file: $ wget http://github.com/gandro/input-event-daemon/tarball/v0.1.3/input-event-daemon-v0.1.3.tar.xz [...] $ file input-event-daemon-v0.1.3.tar.xz input-event-daemon-v0.1.3.tar.xz: gzip compressed data, from Unix This is causing a huge number of build failures in the autobuilders. For example, cpuload: http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/bcd/bcdf4bdca4d5f8ffc9c84afcadf1b057fc03e009/build-end.log. So I believe this patch should be reverted, or at least the parts affecting Github downloads.
