Do you know in what sense it is unreliable?

I noticed the old URI
<https://fossies.org/linux/privat/udpcast-20200328.tar.gz/>
now is a 404.  It seems like old versions are automatically removed,
so the fossies URL would be unreliable (from a reproducibility POV).

The only remaining URL is the www.udpcast.linux.lu URL.  It would be
nice to have more fallbacks, so personally I would keep the
sources.buildroot.net URL, even though it currently 404s, with a
comment like

  ;; At time of writing, sources.buildroot.net only has old versions
  ;; of udpcast, but presumably it will be updated eventually.

YMMV.

Greetings,
Maxime.

https://fossies.org/linux/privat/udpcast-20211207.tar.gz
seems to be available, so we have 2 uris.
