What define which recipe in stable is supported? For example -
does "asleap 2.1" supported? It is not listed in conf/checksums.ini so I
suppose that it is not maintained by anyone and that no one tried to
build it.
Keeping sources mirrored is one thing - but what use if of mirroring if
there is no way to check does files are proper ones? Who will tell does
asleap-2.1.tgz has md5 starting with "1234" or with "f38b" if it is not
fetchable from other place then 3 random mirrors?
I think that for stable branch someone whould at least fetch all sources
to generate checksums so it will be known that asleap-2.1.tgz md5sum
really starts with "1234".
