[Buildroot] kmscube: cannot fetch from cgit.freedesktop.org

[Fabio Estevam]

Hi,

I need to upgrade kmscube in Buildroot to the latest commit and this
is how I did it:

diff --git a/package/kmscube/kmscube.hash b/package/kmscube/kmscube.hash

(kmscube has changed to meson, so that's why it was changed to meson-package.)

I can retrieve a tar.gz manually if I do like this:

wget "https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/kmscube/repository/archive.tar.gz?ref=4660a7dca6512b6e658759d00cff7d4ad2a2059d"
-O archive.tar.gz

It seems that the current kmscube version only builds in Buildroot
because it is fetched from Buildroot's mirrror.

If I mirror the https://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/kmscube into my own
github, then I can make Buildroot to fetch it and build it.

Any comments/ideas as to how to fix this?

Thanks,

Fabio Estevam
