Sure, and we really appreciate the heads-up. :)


Some follow up notes on this issue: The ekiga folks actually did not
remove the old releases. They just happen to use a pretty bad way to
grab source tarballs, which seems to not be discussed on the web site.

Turns out all old releases still are available, if you use some special
(not browsable) link, with the ekiga version in it. Exactly that
corresponding ekiga version the particular opal and pwlib version has
been released for...

This is fixed in CVS (both gnome-2-14 branch and HEAD) already to point
to the correct places which are not going to change.


Also, I am currently working with the ekiga team and and the GNOME
release team to host opal and pwlib on f.g.o, too. Once this is done,
there will no special treatment be required any longer and this issue
will be fixed for good. :)
