    fix the code location for the doc tree … It doesn't need fixing, we might need to contact them. What works for the src tree (in the first screenshot below) does not work for the doc tree (second shot). [image: 1775276658791-261d9e5a-1b05-4950-9bfd-1e03904d139f-image.jpeg] [image: 1775276700827-ab9776c2-f7cb-4c58-81a7-e0df05aa9caa-image.jpeg] The previous repo URL was the cgit URL. Before I removed it, today, IIRC there was the same red alert: Error: This Code Location is flagged as Do Not Fetch. Please contact us for assistance – with the same status: Step 1 of 3: Downloading source code history (Failed about 2 years ago.) There's an on-screen suggestion to wait twenty-four hours. I will wait, although given the failure about two years ago: I doubt that it'll make a difference. [image: 1775280296655-67daeab0-2790-4c4f-84b3-ed5dd0bf4460-image.jpeg] There's a suggestion of "special handling" in the help forum. There's also no response to a report that someone made more than five months ago, which is not particularly special
