[Slackbuilds-users] QtCurve source lost and found

Hello,

The download-links for both QtCurve-Gtk2 and QtCurve-KDE4 are gone. It
seems like this is another project where they don't keep an archive of
previous releases.

Luckily both files still can be found in the FreeBSD distfiles with
md5sums matching those in the respective SBo *.info files:

ftp://ftp.de.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/QtCurve-Gtk2-0.65.3.tar.bz2
ftp://ftp.de.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/QtCurve-KDE4-0.65.4.tar.bz2

I don't know... would it be wise for future releases to contain
download-links pointing to e.g. FreeBSD or Gentoo distfiles instead of
the official home.freeuk.com link or would that just introduce other
problems?
