Most if not all o-hand repositories have been converted to git and moved to 
git.yoctoproject.org. A list of what's available:

This works for me... ?

It is if you don't use a mirror. Realistically with the wide range of software 
from hundreds of different providers built in OE there's no way you can expect 
all of them to not change their download locations, remove old versions, etc. 
over time. That's why we have mirror support, and both Angstrom and the Yocto 
Project provide mirrors already.

If you really want to ensure long-term support you may want to consider 
setting up your own local mirror; it's fairly easy to do.

Cheers,
Paul
