Right now we use the distfiles provided by OpenSuse's OpenBuildService[1]. Even tough their "Last modified" date changes constantly[2] the files seem to stay the same -- my 2024.12.03 distfile is the same as 2025.05.14's This is a problem however as it bundles many git subprojects[3], including external libraries like rapidjson or cmark. The subprojects sometimes are ancient[4] and require our patching to compile[5].
