[aur-general] Upstream for jrosetta package gone down.
Greetings, it seems that upstream source for jrosetta package is down and not going to get back up any time soon. This package is still needed and I have files required to build it, so, I need some place online for others to download them. Currently these files are just uploaded to my dropbox account. Any suggestions? Also, java-skinlf package downloads required files from archlinux.org server while upstream download page is dead, too. Is this an option? Regards, Victor

You also could pick up a cheapo VPS from http://buyvm.net/ for $15 USD a year for an OpenVZ 128MB Container or $25 a year for a 128MB KVM and host it yourself. I've used the OpenVZ $15 a year account for years; I run IRC server and other IRC related services on them. You get apache installed, plus ipv6 addresses, ssh, root, and a good choice of distros to choose from. They're very stable and they're good about notifying you about maintenance windows etc. Since you'll only be hosting AUR package srcs there, the 128M will be more than enough for serving a few tarballs :). -- Thanks, John D Jones III UNIX Zealot; Perl Lover unixgeek1972@gmail.com jnbek1972@gmail.com http://zoelife4u.org/ Where Earth and Spirit Unite

I can host them for you if you'd like. I've got a Gig pipe and already run mirrors.

That would be great, thank you! It just doesn't feel right to use something like dropbox for AUR packages. Offtopic question, is there any information online about ftp.archlinux.org or sources.archlinux.org? Regards, Victor

If you're referring to hosting upstream sources, the former was used by our packagers only, and as a last resort (it was throttled). The latter now hosts those sources in the "other" directory, and the "sources" directory hosts automated full source packages required for GPL compliance. -- GPG/PGP ID: C0711BF1
