For example, auctex is currently at version 13.0.4; today I can download it from https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/auctex-13.0.4.tar, but this link will stop working as soon as a new version of auctex is released and the old version gets compressed. This makes it slightly annoying to pin a particular version of an ELPA package by URL. I would like to ask the GNU ELPA maintainers to host both https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/PACKAGE-CURRENTVERSION.lz (permanent) as well as https://elpa.gnu.org/packagesa/PACKAGE-CURRENTVERSION (temporary). This would make it easier for people to build reproducible environments by pinning a package version. I don't particularly care about exposing it as a link on the website; for my purposes, it's enough that the file exists. This is perhaps a little bit wasteful, but compressed versions shouldn't be too big. Best, Mauricio
