Does anyone know the status of the LTIB GPP at http://bitshrine.org/gpp? I haven't needed it for a while, but now that I do I notice it's been returning HTTP 403 Forbidden for at least the past couple days.
Thanks.

Solved! Go to Solution.
Looks like the maintainer of bitshrine.org (the original author of LTIB) made some changes to restrict access only to LTIB, but they were faulty. He's since corrected it and I can retrieve from the GPP just fine now. Here's the discussion: [Ltib] 403 Errors.
Are you perhaps going through a proxy server? My company's proxy server arbitrarily prevents me from downloading all sorts of tools and packages. I usually work around these problems by taking a laptop to Starbuck's or McDonald's or the public library and downloading what I need there. I've also resorted to downloading the tar.bz2 files for various packages from project homepages, and just sticking the file in /opt/freescale/pkgs. One or the other of these workarounds might help you.
Nope, I'm directly connected to the Internet and just checked 10 seconds ago and I'm still getting HTTP 403 Forbidden. Could you (or anybody) try to retrieve a package via browser, say http://bitshrine.org/gpp/readline-4.3.tar.gz, and see if its working for you?
Thanks, Mike.
Tried it from home. Still get the same error when I try to go to the site via my Firefox browser. Going to ftp://bitshrine.org/gpp, I get a prompt for a username and password. I was, however able to load the readline package using wget from a command line:
wget http://bitshrine.org/gpp/readline-4.3.tar.gz
If that doesn't work for you, I can email it.
wget worked for me too, so I'm all set. I'm disturbed that bitshrine.org isn't working with LTIB, and curious who maintains it; it isn't a Freescale site though Freescale depends on it for its SDK.
Thanks again, Mike.
The ltib script uses wget too, and specifies options for wget in variable wget_opts. The timeout and number of retries are probably less than the defaults used when you call wget from the command line. If you modify wget_opts to increase those values, you might be able to make wget work when called by ltib.
