Arrg, you're right and I made a mistake.  The reason we didn't use the
snapshot mirror like you suggest is that I at least was unaware that
you could.  To fix this problem I've reverted the change that
introduced 1.15.1, added PE = 1 to the recipe (so that anyone that did
somehow get 1.15.1 built will go and be back to 1.14.5) and changed
the URI based on what you provided in a follow-up so that it fetches
again, for all.  Sorry for the inconvenience.
