404 error for med-3.3.1 library tarball

[bestlinuxgamers]

Currently the Manifest file can't be built because the med-3.3.1 source tarball has been removed by the providing website.

I feel like I searched half the internet for the git repository of this library, or at least a reupload of the old 3.3.1 version, and I just can't find it. Can anyone explain to me what open source library just provides periodical source tarballs and no git repository? Or did I miss anything?

Generally I think this Manifest should use fewer source tarballs. They just encourage these problems and they are generally less trustworthy (just look at the recent XZ backdoor).

this is irrelevant.

I agree that this is not relevant for this issue. But it is certainly relevant for the project in general. I can create a separate issue for that if you want.
