In the short term, reinstating the mirror of /trunk/ext_sources is pretty important without a lot of additional testing/setup directly from the source repositories of these items. So, I would vote YES on this. What is required of the administrator(s)? No apology needed. I think the majority of us are not current on SourceForge policies so we were not aware of this change. As far as I know, Apache OpenOffice was happy to have the SourceForge mirror service for these additional sources. > > > >> >> OK, I'm looking specifically at this paragraph from the link you sent-- >> >> "Mirrors which are not co-maintained with the one or more of the >> original developers, except where the upstream site has been >> discontinued, have been removed effective immediately.
