Docker Build Script Failed To Fetch about p2im HOT 5 OPEN

I've followed the instructions in build_qemu.md but once i execute the WORK_FOLDER_PATH=pwd/src ./build_scripts/build-qemu.sh --deb64 --no-strip command i end up with the following output. I've seen other issues with similar docker problems that suggest running an update/upgrade in the container but it's not like i can open a shell in the container since it starts up executing that build script right away. Is there a solution?

Trying to fix it from my part too.
The image used to build QEMU within the docker container is a debian 8/Jessie.
Debian repos for Jessie do not exist at debian.net. Thus the error.
The easy fix would be to change the build environment within ...../build_scripts/build-qemu.sh
That probably means creating a debian based docker image that has the requirements for building QEMU gnuarmeclipse

• gcc toolchain
• other dependencies (not gonna write them out, they are at https://wiki.qemu.org/Hosts/Linux#Building_QEMU_for_Linux)

OPTION B is to build it in your machine by installing all dependencies listed in https://wiki.qemu.org/Hosts/Linux#Building_QEMU_for_Linux

Quick comment on OPTION B

Building manually only works if you can set it up so "gnuarmeclipse" can be a target when executing

./configure --target-list=gnuarmeclipse --python=PATHTOPYTHON2.x

Else the build crashes on vl.c

#if defined(CONFIG_GNU_ARM_ECLIPSE)
    const char *mcu_device = NULL;
    (....)
#endif 

Because the proper target is not selected.

So probably fixing OPTION A is preferable.

The docker containers in OPTION A are deprecated and the original dev is working on QEMU xPack.
So, we are left with the following choices:

OPTION A
Create a new environment/docker container that is a clone of those used by Ionescu.
With an added fix.
Employing archive.debian.org as a source so apt update does not crash.

OPTION B
Probably discarded

OPTION C
Try to find a way of building P2IM's QEMU through xPack

I see. Thank you for the pointers! If you manage to fix it, could you let me know? I'm of course going to try to do it myself but my docker/linux knowledge is limited so it might take a while

Got the fixes up in my github account
https://github.com/xgandiaga/DRIVERS/tree/main

I made the build scripts point to new docker images I created in my dockerhub account.
Those point to archive.debian.org instead of deb.debian.org
Thus the apt updates don't crash
And the build goes through

(I'll fix the Licensing issues when I can. I kinda conjured up a fix from thin air quickly without looking to the licenses)
