hello,
5 days ago i noticed that my stunnel source package was *again* broken because some clown removed the previous version's download from the download server, so i bite the bullet and upgraded to latest (5.05). today, doing a testbuild i got a again a 404 and was forced again to update to latest stunnel download. this is fucking frustrating.
i really have better things to do than to update my package recipes whenever a new stunnel release comes out (and that's not just me).
SO COULD YOU PLEASE FINALLY LEAVE YOUR PAST RELEASES ON THE DOWNLOAD MIRROR LIKE ANYONE ELSE DOES ? THANKS.
and no, even if a security flaw in non-latest was discovered that's still no reason to silently delete the old tarballs.
thanks, --JS
P.S. the latest stunnel still does not link against libreSSL instead of openssl, due to bogus usage of RAND_egd() as mentioned a quarter year ago in my blog: http://devsonacid.wordpress.com/2014/07/12/how-compatible-is-libressl/

Err, you do know about the archive on the FTP site... right?

G'luck, Peter

Your frustration doesn't justify cursing at the maintainers, and it's a terrible way to get what you want.
