Official snapshot with Botan 2

                Hello
        I am trying to maintain a Monotone package in Nixpkgs. Currently
the Botan 1 version needed to build the latest Monotone release seems to
get a bunch of vulnerabilities reported (and so is marked insecure in=20
Nixpkgs). I have used net.venge.monotone.lapo.botan2 branch and the PCRE
8.42 patch by Petr P=C3=ADsa=C5=99 to build Monotone with fresher versions and=20
indeed it works fine, syncs with 1.1 releases etc. However, right now=20
the only way I can grab it is via Monotone netsync, which is not good
for a Monotone package in a distribution package repository.

        Could there be an officially hosted snapshot of Botan 2=20
buildable Monotone source? Or maybe even 1.2 release if PCRE
compatibility patches would also be included. Failing that I guess=20
I will just mirror it at https://github.com/7c6f434c/monotone-mirror=20
(so that at least in principle people could diff and compare with
upstream repository diff by diff) and use GitHub's tarball download
feature from there. (Choice of GitHub: so that the mirror is linked to
my Nixpkgs comitter identity)

Thank you, goodbye
Michael Raskin.
