Removing it from svn does not mean no longer hosting it, but svn is not appropriate to keep history of all versions of tarball that have once existed in cooker One solution can be for example - Storing the tarballs matching svn head on a ftp if the src.rpm is not yet available - Having the tool that checkouts from svn to also download src.rpm and extract tarball from there, looking on the ftp if there is not yet a src.rpm for that version
