We do have an automatic updater: %xorg-updater.
Somehow, it is not currently used, but maybe that's just a matter of 
switching from the ftp:// URL to an appropriate mirror://.

If there is an appropriate mirror://, likely there is a HTTP or HTTPS 
among the mirrors than Software Heritage will be able to pick up.

Greetings,
Maxime.

Due to email difficulties, I saw only now that mbakke already picked a
different mirror. [1] I am therefore closing this issue.

Kind regards
