Believe it or not, gforge.inria.fr was finally phased out on
Sept. 30th.  And believe it or not, despite all the work and all the
chat :-), we lost the source tarball of Scotch 6.1.1 for a short period
of time (I found a copy and uploaded it to berlin a couple of hours
ago).

Going back to the script at the beginning of this bug report, we get (on

All this to say that we must really get our act together with Disarchive
:-), and salvage all these tarballs until then.

There are redirects in place for some of these, but probably not all.
