Unfortunately:

$ nix-build -A tetex
these derivations will be built:

The URL works for me. I suspect some mirrors don't have obsolete stuff. tetex is likely vulnerable, too – there are some CVEs and we don't seem to be fixing anything.

My motivation was to remove the md5 checksums so for each package I tried in that order: (1) nix-prefetch-url, (2) find alternate upstream if broken, (3) upgrade if old version is unavailable, (4) remove package if new version is unavailable.

For this package I was at point (2). If nobody is using tetex we should remove it.

Well, bjornfor seems to be using it, at least. There are a few reverse dependencies that haven't been migrated yet.

It's interesting that @bjornfor is getting a "403 Forbidden" instead of a 404

tetex is a dependency of asciidoc(-full). My interest is keeping asciidoc working.

I didn't know tetex was obsolete. I briefly looked into using texlive instead of tetex, but it doesn't look like a 1-1 replacement. For instance, asciidoc expects a 'dvipng' program, which seems like a tetex-only thing.

Oh, now the 403 is gone! I successfully downloaded tetex!

Wait... it might have been downloaded via tarballs.nixos.org. But who cares!?

Tested manually with wget http://mirrors.ctan.org/obsolete/systems/unix/teTeX/3.0/distrib/tetex-src-3.0.tar.gz. Works.

On another PC, with a different ISP, I also get error 403:

Perhaps I'm hitting a misconfigured mirror (ctan.uib.no)?

Maybe try
http://mirror.jmu.edu/pub/CTAN/obsolete/systems/unix/teTeX/3.0/distrib/tetex-texmf-3.0.tar.gz

That worked.
