We create recipes to cross-compile software that are useful on embedded systems, and LVM2 is one of them. Unfortunately, it looks like when a release is made, the tarball is placed at ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/lvm2/, but as once as a newer release is made, the previous tarball is moved into ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/lvm2/old/. Unfortunately, this doesn't work well with how embedded Linux build systems work, since they code an URL and a version for each software they build. This is usually not a problem, since most of the software tarballs are available from a fixed location. Would it be possible to change the release tarball location policy in order not to move them ? If you really want to have only the latest one in ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/lvm2/, could you also put the latest available version in ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/lvm2/old/ at the moment of the release ?
