It seems jitpack is down for a while, any workaround for this issue?

I believe it was only an issue when Jitpack was down. We should anyway evaluate if there is a way to better handle such outages from our Maven builds.

[e-backmark-ericsson]

We are considering providing support for GitHub packages as a complement/replacement to using Jitpack.

[e-backmark-ericsson]

There is a limit on how much to store in GitHub packages and how much data can be transferred from there: https://docs.github.com/en/billing/managing-billing-for-github-packages/about-billing-for-github-packages. We should consider if that is a too limiting limit for us or not before moving to GitHub packages completely.

[m-linner-ericsson]

For documentation: GitHub packages is described here https://github.com/features/packages

Retested again. Removed all mirrors and cleared all local repositories to force direct download from jitpack.io. It works fine for me.

It must have been a temporary issue...

We cannot reproduce this issue, so we close it now. If the problem comes back we will look into it again.
