I am posting a list or URLs that have gone 'bad' over time.

I am working through them to get them 'fixed'.

Two overall aims.

#1 update the URLs to most current version

#2 archive old 'bad" URLs ( do NOT remove them - so they can still be listed and cleanly removed )

There is generally one of two actions that lend themselves.

#1 update the URL to newer and valid versions and also move the old 'broken' version URLs to a section that still allows listing them and removing [ see example in npp.sls for one way to do that ]

#2 if there are no longer any new URLs and the old URLs have also been removed and the uninstaller has a dependency on the URL . i.e. the product is basically EOL. Then move them to a section that still allows for clean listing and give hints on how to manually remove those pkgs if possible/available. ( consider searching for a specific version in the way back machine and use that to uninstall ) [ see sensu.sls for an example of that ]

Here is the current list of 'broken' links.
Please consider 'adopting one' or two of them and dealing with them as laid out above.
( there were 209 of them a week ago when I started the 'cleanup' and I am down to 'only' the ```154`` listed below. )
