Dusty,

It might be experimental stuff  or something which only targets a small 
user base etc. Hopefully Atomic SIG will work well for ADB, if not we 
can always use the upstream download location as a fall back.
I have a https://lalatendu.fedorapeople.org/ , but not sure how much 
space we can get there and yes, official location is better.

Thanks,
