Considering that the origin and development is tied to "gnu.org.ua"
I found
http://download.gnu.org.ua/pub/release/rush/
to be the proper location. It is a secondary fact that the author is
also tied to FSF and thus a kind of mirror is located at "savannah.gnu.org".
You are suggesting that
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/rush/
be preferrable in the watch file, in spite of this not being the home
of the project. Personally I am not convinced that dropping the Ukrainian
origin is an honest thing to do. How is it "wiser" to refer to FSF/GNU.org
than to gnu.org.ua?
I am a recent fellow project member with the author Sergey Poznyakoff
within GNU Inetutils, so I could of course ask him on this matter.
Best regards,
Mats Erik Andersson
