Fwd: [PATCH] treewide: use CDN for downloads

[Jo-Philipp Wich]

Hi,

last time we tried a CDN for the package repo downloads we did encounter
coherency issues, with different mirror servers being out of sync or hosting
different versions of the same packages, leading to stray checksum errors and
the like.

I'd propose to first switch the OpenWrt packages feed CI to the CDN (that is,
fetching SDKs from CDN and modify the shipped repositories.conf to use the CDN
as well) and to observe that for a week or two. Last time that quickly exposed
the problem.

If all goes well during that time, I'm fine with switching
downloads.openwrt.org to the CDN afterwards.

Regards,
Jo
