Hello,
the URLs to iwlwifi firmware tarballs are broken.
https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi
Is that a temporary problem? I could find no mirrors for some of the
files. (Besides, I found that nixos.org isn't the only user of those URLs.)
Please, CC me with replies.
Thanks,
Vladimir

Yeah but I typically publish on the git tree earlier since it is easier :)
Not really significant though.

Yes, all should be there as well, I guess. I didn't switch to that repo
yet because:
- they're not the same *.tgz files (with the same hashes);
- serving uncompressed files through (c)git surely isn't a preferred
method to distribute binaries;
- the URLs were used by many (according to my searching), so it seemed
preferable to just fix them instead of everyone switching to different ones.

We publish both, so it doesn't really matter.

Aren't they now all available as part of
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/
?

This was a problem with the markup conversion for the new wiki engine -
the links were converted to [[filename]] (to link to pages) instead of
{{filename}} (to link to attachments)
I've fixed that now.

Thanks!
For future reference, is it the case that fetching from (c)git is the
preferred way of distributing the firmware? (preferred by you, i.e.
*.kernel.org)
