What to do if upstream disappears?
 

The sirius project web page has vanished and I haven't been able to find
a new one. Should I comment out the old URL and source0 definitions
and have source0 just be the archive name?

Other than needing a DSO linking fix, the game seems to work, so I don't
see a need to drop the package.

Yes. remove the url and add a comment on the spec

I'd suggest commenting out the URL line rather than removing it. (Maybe
that's what you meant by "add a comment", rather than just a "upstream
is dead" style comment.) Even a dead URL is sometimes useful, since
there may be snapshots in archive.org.

My interpretation of Rahul's suggestion was to add a comment about why the
URL definition is commented out, rather than a suggestion to remove it
instead of commenting it out.
