etlas cannot download index from cdnverify.eta-lang.org

[janesser]

Hi, tried eta-lang for the first time. I had chosen the source-build from the tutorials, unfortunately there is an issue with the index download below.

As by below verbosity run it seems cdnverify.eta-lang.org is actually not the right URL to target.

$ rm ~/.etlas/packages/* -fR && etlas update -v3

Assistance would be appreciated.

@janesser It's better if you build from master rather than stable. We have a release coming soon and we'll fix the problem with the old stable branch. We try to keep the master branch pretty stable so it's pretty safe to build from there.

[janesser]

Tried master branch as suggested.

• unshallowed single-branch git clone
• switched branch including submodules
• install.sh again
  (index is reported broken one last time)
• rm ~/.eta -fR && rm ~/.etlas -fR
• etlas update

It works. Ticket can be closed.

p.s.:
if master is stable, all is fine. maybe adjust getting-started-guide in that direction.
