Just got this error at the very end of a build.

 

[ o.k. ] Checking git sources [ linux-firmware-git master ]
fatal: unable to access 'https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/': The requested URL returned error: 504
[ .... ] Fetching updates 
fatal: unable to access 'https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/': The requested URL returned error: 504
[ .... ] Checking out 
error: pathspec 'FETCH_HEAD' did not match any file(s) known to git.

I checked a very few minutes later and the URL https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/   did eventually respond with a reasonable page, though with a huge delay.

 

Presume that git.kernel.org had a problem, and returned the 504 error, not that the build system timed out waiting, but maybe wiser heads than me can check. If it was just lag, we may see a lot more of this sort of error, given the load on the internet at the moment....

Got fetched successfully for me. Maybe just a temporarly issue?

Next run worked for me as well.  As you say probably temporary.

I realize the internet is overloaded at the moment.

I cannot work out if the request timed out in the build system, or the remote end responded with 504. 

If it timed out in the build system we should worry, since crappy internet is with us for some time, and maybe the timeout value is not long enough.

If it came from the other end, nothing will help.
