The github plugin translates github urls to the codeload subdomain. The problem is very recently "http" support was disabled on the codeload subdomain and so any github urls being rewritten to codeload will now fail if it is http. i.e. http://codeload.github.com/liftoff-sr/pretty_footprints/zip/master will fail https://codeload.github.com/liftoff-sr/pretty_footprints/zip/master Will work. If one uses the original http release url like http://github.com/KiCad/Varistors.pretty/archive/4.0.0.zip it will work via the redirects on their base domain People have been complaining alot on IRC about broken github libraries, this explains why. -- Mark _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
