I have the tarball. I think we should toss it somewhere safe and update the

Suggestions?

Sorry for the late reply, I was on vacation 😉.

Nothing that comes to my mind directly. Do you know of any hosting
possibilites from YP or OE-Core?

@Richard: Sorry for putting you in that conversation without warning...
But maybe you may guide us in a direction where to host/mirror some "legacy"
meta-java source tarballs?

If someone points me at the tarballs I can probably sort something out with
our source mirrors.

Thank you very much Richard!
The openjdk8 tarballs are now hosted at https://downloads.yoctoproject.org/mirror/sources/
with their local download names.

Unfortunately I currently don't have the time and resources to provide a
patch for fixing the URLs and adding the mirror.
So help is greatly appreciated!
