Thanks for the explanation. I thought it might be something like this.

Might I ask you to also put older tarballs there? Or is that too much
work? The reason i am asking for that is the following: We provide
also package descriptions for older versions of subversion if a user
wants to e.g. dump an old repos. That is the case when older tarballs
are needed.
