[OE-core] 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
