Bug Report

What's the issue you encountered?

Your server's missing 1 file. Build script fails early when trying to curl it.

Relevant output below:

Ready to install devkitA64 in /home/user/opt/devkitpro/devkitA64

curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 403
Error: Failed to download devkita64-rules-1.1.1.tar.gz

How can the issue be reproduced?

git clone'd your repo git clone https://github.com/devkitPro/buildscripts.git
git checkout devkitARM_r67
change INSTALLDIR in script to preferred path (I have not reviewed your script fully so I did not feel comfy running it as root to allow creating and writing to folder in /opt/)
run: ./build-devkit.sh

Environment?

Arch Linux on longterm kernel,
Linux 6.12.63-1-lts x86_64

Additional context?

N/A

I recommend making all necessary files available on one of your repos on github. Also consider using github actions to build and submit your binaries, it's easier to trust bins built in such a transparent way.

But for now I just look forward to being able to get this built and start writing NX brew.

Note: I just noticed that 403 means "access forbidden" (I was thinking it meant "not found", as in 404), I'll try from another IP address, hope it works.

EDIT: Nope. Just tried, I get same 403.

We're struggling with LLM bots and the mitigations seem to be picking up wget and curl as bot traffic. Supplying a custom user-agent to wget appears to work but this doesn't help curl. The buildscripts have been adjusted with this workaround.

For what it's worth we prefer that users get the binaries we supply via https://github.com/devkitPro/pacman/releases where possible rather than building the tools themselves. We supply currently around 300 packages via pacman.
