think about building a release after many years, if we do not have to<br>
update SRC_URI to point to archive then its one less things to do<br>
given that the same copies are in archive for current releases too<br>
its just better for long term.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Building a release after many years without having a preserved local copy of DL_DIR is asking for trouble, regardless of whether man-pages comes from archive or not.
