In the past there has been a script "fetch all sources" so that they
don't go away. But it was never run often enough?
If you do it the way python/emacs does the following should be true:
- people trust you as packager
- its easy to comment why you use your mirror
- you can use two urls.
So what about:
1) document it:
# using my own server as fallback, because new source versions cause
# older versions to be deleted...
2) keep original url, but add your own as mirror:
package = {
urls = [ original-url your-mirror-url ];
}
Don't think you can do much better.
