Comment:
I was under the impression that the plan was to swap it out to https://repo-default.voidlinux.org/distfiles/ once the infra people get around to it. imo that is the best solution.

I'm not sure relying on runtime generated patches generated from a mirror not affiliated GNU (or us for that matter) is a good idea. I imagine the glibc build can break if/when github or git changes the way patches generate (or if the mirror goes down/the account gets deleted).

The https://git.vuxu.org/mirror/glibc/ was created by Leah for the PR but I didn't use it because at the time the snapshots generated broken tarballs and took forever to download. Not sure about now, but trying to download a snapshot resulted in me getting an error after a long delay: `Sorry, the page you are looking for is currently unavailable.
Please try again later.`
If all of those issues can be addressed then I'm fine with using that, but probably not atm.
