Could you make the 2.6.9 source available via http again?

I noticed you've made rsync 3.0.0 available at
http://www.samba.org/ftp/rsync/rsync-3.0.0.tar.gz, which is great!

However, until it's upgraded (if ever), the buildroot system I'm using to build
embedded linux tries to download rsync 2.6.9 from
http://www.samba.org/ftp/rsync/rsync-2.6.9.tar.gz, which fails since this file
is no longer available -- even though it's linked from http://www.samba.org/rsync/!

Could I convince you to make 2.6.9 available again at the above URL?

I realize I could get 2.6.9 by reverse patching from 3.0.0, and could likely get
it from git, but that's not what the buildroot automation wants.

Thanks!
