The RSB does not stop you doing this locally. I think an RSB source archive
option would help make things simpler for anyone wanting to this.

There are means within the RSB to aid deployment for those users or companies
wanting to better manage configurations and dependent resources.

I am sorry you have lost me. The URL I posted is pretty similar to the URL
needed to fetch a file from our FTP so if we can easily adjust one we can adjust
the other. It is no different to an FTP being closed down, a project's home
directory moving, or a project's tree being moved, we need to adjust the paths used.

In relation to creating archives of files to store on our FTP server, we do not
have enough resources and funds to maintain what we have and I currently have no
interest in expanding what we do there. The URL I posted exists, works and takes
no extra effort to maintain.
