[v1] tests/docker: use stable URLs for zlib tarballs

[PATCH] tests/docker: use stable URLs for zlib tarballs

Posted by Stefan Hajnoczi 2 weeks ago

The tarballs at https://zlib.net/zlib-X.Y.Z.tar.xz become unavailable
when a new release is made. This breaks the emsdk-wasm64-cross.docker
file that fetches the tarball and builds zlib from source.

There is actually an archive available with a stable URL. Use that
instead. This does require switching from bzip2 to gzip since bzip2
tarballs are not available in the archive.

The upshot is that the emsdk-wasm64-cross Docker image build will
continue working into the future without causing CI breakage when the
zlib project makes a new release.

"...from  xz to gzip since xz tarballs...."

Thanks for spotting this. I'll send a v2.
