[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] axel: fixed package download issue

[Martin Bark]

This patch updates axel.mk to download axel v2.4 from snapshot.debian.org.
The download from alioth.debian.org is currently broken resulting in a
malformed axel.2.4.tar.gz being downloaded and the build failing.  The
package is available instead from snapshot.debian.org.

As I explained, this problem is not specific to Axel, but to all
package that download from Alioth. So I believe it would be better to
have one single patch that changes all the Alioth URLs to other URLs,
so that we can revert that single patch later on once Alioth is working
again.

Best regards,

Thomas

Yes I agree.  I had not notice at first that all alioth was broken.  I 
see Ryan Barnett has submitted a patch to update all alioth urls now so 
hopefully that's will fix the issue.

Thanks
