Broken upstream tarballs in 15.09

[edolstra]

I ran copy-tarballs.pl on Nixpkgs 15.09 to mirror all referenced tarballs/patches in the content-addressed fetchurl mirror at tarballs.nixos.org. It successfully mirrored 14850 files (in addition to 3861 files mirrored previously). But it failed to mirror 83 files. There were 19 hash mismatches:

The CA certificate errors are really a nix-prefetch-url bug - it shouldn't complain about certificates if it knows the output hash.

There were also a bunch of files that failed due to invalid characters in the file name, but that's more a bug in copy-tarballs.pl.

These stand out as not actually being immutable URLs:

The issue with 117.patch has been fixed in master by a3fa690

The one with indilib in 0a745f5

Should these commits be cherry-picked to the 15.09 branch?

[vcunat]

I resolved those two failures.

[thall]

Reported about colordiff couple of days ago (#12656)

[magnetophon]

The ladspa one is fixed here: #12640

[4z3]

Looks like for exim only the most current release is kept at the defined location, all other releases get moved to a subdirectory called old. I'm not sure how to fix this besides keeping the package up-to-date.

[vcunat]

@4z3: both/multiple URLs can be specified. They're tried in order.

[joachifm]

Is this still relevant?

[NeQuissimus]

We should try this again before 17.03 to get rid of some of the old garbage we carry...
