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!

In theory if these are the names the metadata was using and you have the standard
OE/Yocto source mirrors, this should "just work"...

Cheers,

Richard
