            Bug ID: 790501
           Summary: recipes/fribidi: archive not found, build from sources
                    not working
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: git master
                OS: Mac OS
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: cerbero
          Assignee: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

     GNOME version: ---

The fribidi recipe
https://github.com/GStreamer/cerbero/blob/master/recipes/fribidi.recipe refers
to a source tarball: http://fribidi.org/download/fribidi-0.19.7.tar.bz2, which
no longer exists (returns Not Found). 

Unfortunately just swapping out that archive for the source archive on github
https://github.com/fribidi/fribidi/archive/0.19.7.tar.gz doesn't work. The
build fails with the github source. 

The previous release tarball (.bz2) includes in it some pre-bootstrapped files
which are not included in the github source, as I found out by asking about it
upstream:  issue upstream: https://github.com/fribidi/fribidi/issues/28. 

I do not yet have a solution for how to fix the recipe to build from the github
source and have resorted to using a previously downloaded version of the
release tarball, but it would be best to figure out how to get the recipe
building properly from the github non-release source.
