Maybe explain to upstream that this older-versions/ thing is just a<br>
bit annoying for distros and they'll remove it?<br>
<br>
The alternative is to do what libpng already does for this situation:<br>
<br>
recipes-multimedia/libpng/<a href="http://libpng_1.6.37.bb" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">libpng_1.6.37.bb</a>:<br>
MIRRORS += "${SOURCEFORGE_MIRROR}/project/${BPN}/${BPN}${LIBV}/${PV}/<br>
${SOURCEFORGE_MIRROR}/project/${BPN}/${BPN}${LIBV}/older-releases/${PV}/"<br>
<br>
Not pretty, but it works.<br>

They published the 8.4.0 tarball where upstream version checker didn't look, and so 8.3.0 was reported as latest :-( It's this lack of consistency about where mesa upstream places tarballs which makes me reluctant to add the MIRRORS hack.</div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">Alex<br></div></div>
