I guess someone needs to make a policy decision as to whether the profiles in general should be distributed this way :-)

Is there still any objection against changing the download urls in the blfs profile to use anduin?
Currently there are a lot of dead links in our url-lists (and apart from those dead links, it also seems that ftp.gnome.org is down) and that should really be fixed before we release the profile.
