I've been thinking about this, and this is getting ridiculous. Instead of 
manually adding files to the OE source mirror, I think it's time we simply had 
a populated fallback source mirror that has all the sources for at least the 
recipes in layers hosted on openembedded.org (if not other commonly used 
layers) aside from OE-Core which is already handled by the yoctoproject.org 
mirrors. This issue keeps coming up far too often.

Is there a possibility we can set this up?

Cheers,
Paul
