Split the tarball download types so any failure is reported clearly. (1.22 KB, patch)
2016-11-21 16:37 UTC, Andrew Esh 		committed Details | Review

Description Andrew Esh 2016-11-21 16:34:21 UTC 
When the tarball type (gz or bz2) is left wildcarded, and the python support does not have bz2 support (as it does within the Android NDK), the download code within cerbero fails with a cryptic message. When the code is split into specific download types, the failure message identifies the missing bz2 support.

Split the tarball download types so any failure is reported clearly.

The Android NDK python support does not have bz2 support. When it is used with cerbero, and a third party bz2 tarball is downloaded, the error message does not indicate what is wrong. Splitting the types into specific file extensions instead of wildcarding causes the error messages to identify the problem.
