But you still only download a single version per package, so you might not get all the needed sources (and you most likely download a lot more than you need). I personally dislike the patch as it's a bit of a hack, but if there's really a need for something like this then perhaps - But wouldn't it make more sense if we instead tried harder to ensure all the package versions we support were available on our mirror? -- Bye, Peter Korsgaard
