Looks like a good idea but the maintainer removes the old releases:

$ wget https://zlib.net/pigz/pigz-2.3.4.tar.gz

The moment a new tarball comes out we'll need to fix all previous oe-core
releases...  maybe the author has a secret directory of all releases, or
could be talked into not deleting future releases?
