Build failure- source-URL for RTL8821CU has changed

[DocStrange]

The link in
https://github.com/CoreELEC/CoreELEC/tree/coreelec-20/projects/Amlogic-ce/packages/linux-drivers/RTL8821CU/package.mk
is dead. https://github.com/morrownr/8821cu-20210118/ does no longer exist. It seems that GitHub - morrownr/8821cu-20210916: Linux Driver for USB WiFi Adapters that are based on the RTL8811CU, RTL8821CU, RTL8821CUH and RTL8731AU Chipsets - v5.12.0.4 is now the current git.

Hello, no update yet? Cannot build CoreELEC-20 because of the missing driver source.

Is it safe to update the package manually to GitHub - morrownr/8821cu-20210916: Linux Driver for USB WiFi Adapters that are based on the RTL8811CU, RTL8821CU, RTL8821CUH and RTL8731AU Chipsets - v5.12.0.4? Should I use any specific hash?

Hi,
pushing that thread again.
If the tarball isn’t cached anywhere, this package doesn’t build, because the repository link is dead.
RTL8821CU: fix package link by rellla · Pull Request #332 · CoreELEC/CoreELEC · GitHub would be a PR to fix this, though the used SHA should probably be updated before merging it.
A manual build without that fix fails.
