Uncommon source deployment policy of live555

Uncommon source deployment policy of live555

[Steffen Sledz]

The LIVE555 project has a really uncommon source deployment policy. :(

They publish *only* the latest tarball of their code [1]. And they don't make the code available under a source code repository [2].

I've asked to change this policy but they are not willing to do that [3].

How can we handle this?
Does OE provides a "mirror" server to provide the versions we're referencing? How can we upload versions there?
Which changes to the recipes are necessary to use it?

Regards,
Steffen

Angstrom has had such a mirror ever since it started and it has the following live555 releases:

live.2009.06.02.tar.gz
live.2010.04.09.tar.gz
live.2010.05.29.tar.gz
live.2010.10.15.tar.gz
live.2011.01.10.tar.gz
live.2011.03.14.tar.gz

Great.

So there's no need to change the recipes. This server is used automatically. Right?

I'd like to see the current live.2011.11.20.tar.gz there too. Who's maintaining such requests?

I did not get an answer from ka6sox to my upload request until now. Can anybody else make to upload to sources.openemebedded.org?
