Hi, this is a plea to retain versioned copies of the org-plus-contrib
tar in the <https://orgmode.org/elpa/> directory, because package
managers refer to them. Currently, the only versions present at that
location are 20171227 and 20171228.

I'm using NixOS, and my current nixpkgs tree refers to 20170911, which
cannot (re)-build now because the source is missing. Here's the Nix
specification referencing the now-broken URL:

<https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels/blob/nixos-17.09/pkgs/applications/editors/emacs-modes/org-generated.nix>

The latest nixpkgs master does have it updated to 20171225 -- which is
*also* a broken link, just a week later. (And I prefer to use a 'stable'
channel rather than master.)

<https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/afac8c61e9542ad04cd9da0cd53f2e2aaaf1aeab/pkgs/applications/editors/emacs-modes/org-generated.nix>

I don't necessarily expect orgmode.org to retain these sources
indefinitely, but deleting them after a couple of weeks or months causes
all sorts of headaches.

Thanks for the consideration!

I see all the versioned copies at the location you point out. Can you
confirm they reappeared?

OOC, why

  homepage = "https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/org.html";

instead of

  homepage = "https://orgmode.org/"

?

Ah yes, that's better... everything is back and the package builds fine
now.

That's a good point -- this is generated from a tool called `emacs2nix`
that converts any ELPA package into a nix specification. So that might
be from a template that assumes everything gets a homepage on
`elpa.gnu.org`. I'm not the maintainer, but I'll take a quick look to
see if it's easy to improve.

Frankly, that's a setup you simply shouldn't be using.  Create a
(shallow) clone from Git and arrange for ORG_ADD_CONTRIB to pull in
whatever you really _need_ from contrib.

Achim.
