Rsync's version has been bumped frequently over the last few months;  from 
2.5.0 to 2.5.4 happened in just a few+ months w/a revision released every 
few weeks.

While the current release is available via:

        http://samba.anu.edu.au/ftp/rsync/

While old versions are always moved into:

        http://samba.anu.edu.au/ftp/rsync/old-versions/

(note that the 2.5.3 -> 2.5.4 transition was a little bit rough in that 
the 2.5.3 tarball is renamed to indicate that compression is broken)

Question:

        To prevent the fink installs from breaking outright when a new release 
of rsync comes out (and the old sourceball is moved into old-versions), 
should I add a CustomMirror [looking at the docs -- maybe there is a more 
appropriate field??] that points to the old-versions/ based URL such that 
the download will continue [hopefully] to work after rsync's version has 
been bumped but before a new Fink packge is submitted?
