Hi guys,
I was going to download alsa-lib (the last version I have is 1.1.7), and it
seems that they pulled versions 1.1.6-1.1.8 off their site:
-rw-r--r-- 14 50 947423 Aug 2 2016 alsa-lib-1.1.2.tar.bz2
-rw-r--r-- 14 50 962001 Dec 20 2016 alsa-lib-1.1.3.tar.bz2
-rw-r--r-- 14 50 974584 Jun 1 2017
alsa-lib-1.1.4.1.tar.bz2
-rw-r--r-- 14 50 973825 May 12 2017 alsa-lib-1.1.4.tar.bz2
-rw-r--r-- 14 50 979225 Nov 14 2017 alsa-lib-1.1.5.tar.bz2

What should we do here? I know I can go pull from OSUOSL, but I wouldn't
recommend that to users unless absolutely necessary. I can't see a message
on their lists saying that they've pulled it.
This seems to affect alsa-plugins, alsa-utils, alsa-tools, and alsa-oss. All
of those also seem to have tarballs from 2018/2019 removed. I don't know if
there's a data corruption problem upstream, but this is a problem.
ALSA-Firmware is OK though, but there hasn't been a release of that in a
long time.
Thanks,

Worrying - I took -lib and -utils from the book's link 47 hours ago,
this looks as if maybe there is a problem in those versions. I
suggest that people keep an eye on this for a few days.
I found this: https://github.com/alsa-project
For instance alsa-lib does have a 1.1.8 release.
The releases are different in that the github version is only .tar.gz
and has not had autotools run on it.
I asked on irc freenode #alsa, but no answer yet.
