download: add support for gitweb snapshots

2025-07-26T12:38:08Z

When downloading a snapshot archive from gitweb, the filename is not part of the URL, and adding the filename to the URL causes errors. The gitweb API exclusively uses query parameters instead of paths in order to execute snapshot downloads. Add a condition to the Perl download script that removes the filename if the relevant query parameter matches in the URL. Also, to reduce server load of the original sources try the Openwrt CDN servers first for these downloads. Even though snapshot downloads are not ideal due to the impact on the source's server health, they are better for download performance than using git only. Therefore, attempting it last will reduce the impact and thus encourage maintainers to keep the option enabled. This change is partly inspired by a conversation linked below about snapshot downloads and server performance issues which led to the feature being disabled for a particular server.

scripts/download.pl: fix broken link for KERNEL projects

2024-06-19T12:30:06Z

Fix broken link generation for KERNEL projects. Using $1 in projectsmirrors sub was still referencing the caller $1 instead of the remaining args of projectsmirrors sub. Use shift and put the second arg of projectsmirrors sub in $append to correctly handle the sub args.
