Windows image failed to build

[phlax]

I think due to some flake when the last PR landed (#103) the windows toolchain doesnt seem to have been rebuilt.

this is blocking envoyproxy/envoy#13362 as that updates the (hash) tags on the images, and the windows image doesnt exist

[mattklein123]

cc @envoyproxy/windows-dev could you help with this?

[phlax]

my guess is that an empty commit to master will fix

It looks like downloading http://repo.msys2.org/distrib/x86_64/msys2-base-x86_64-20200720.tar.xz is still failing

I can poke around and see if theres an alternative but if I remember from last week, all msys2 site downloads were acting up

(Downloading from that link myself is also not working, getting an error via wget and the browser)

[phlax]

yep, not working for me - are there any alternatives ?

@sunjayBhatia i think this is a list of mirrors:

https://github.com/msys2/MSYS2-packages/blob/master/pacman-mirrors/mirrorlist.msys

[sunjayBhatia]

the main site says github/sourceforge downloads are good still: https://www.msys2.org/

The primary download server is currently (since Oct 2nd) down. We are working on bringing it back up. Pacman has preconfigured mirrors so package installations should work, albeit with timeouts. The setup package can be downloaded from SourceForge or GitHub.

we can switch the URL to a github URL and bump to the latest release: https://github.com/msys2/msys2-installer/releases/download/2020-09-03/msys2-base-x86_64-20200903.tar.xz via https://github.com/msys2/msys2-installer/releases

yep this works too:

curl https://mirrors.sjtug.sjtu.edu.cn/msys2/distrib/x86_64/msys2-base-x86_64-20200720.tar.xz

just realised that its a cn mirror which is probs not optimal on network - but it was the first i tried from the mirror list

[sunjayBhatia]

@phlax PR coming shortly to bump msys2
