Peter:

depot is something we plan on maintaining and providing as a service as long as Galaxy. The cargo-port we will also expand in future (eg to provide dynamic fallback at installation time. It is the right place to put your mira backups (and any other packages you care about in recipes).

Cheers,
M.

Thanks Eric,

You mean https://github.com/galaxyproject/cargo-port

Is that something which might be addressed in future? The use case
is when a previously public file stops working (either temporarily or
permanently), so you can't use the official URL to make the cached
copy?

Would it be OK to use a short lived URL like a personal dropbox URL,
and then once cached, update urls.tsv with the original official
(but broken) URL?
