I don't know about the texlive-*-doc packages from community, which are
maintained by Stefan Hussman. Feel free to ask him directly or to file a
bug report.

In the case of the texlive packages in extra, I always upload the
sources to ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/other/texlive/ and usually leave the
source tarball for at least the last two versions. It does happen that I
forget, however, and Eric usually reminds me quickly ;)

I think keeping the tarballs for the last two versions is sane,  but if
someone thinks otherwise, I can leave them available for a longer
period. Opinion on this?

Now, more spefically:
* texlive-core : sources are up-to-date, so probably your ABS tree was
not in sync.
* texlive-bibtexextra : the latest source tarball was indeed missing,
fixed now!

Thanks, F
