Great. I assumed those directories were no longer alive since they
mostly have old versions.

Should we make sure to fill up those directories with all the missing
tarballs of releases? It looks weird to have dolfin-0.9.4 and then the
snapshot. It makes a user think that snapshot is not relevant even if
the timestamp is new.

Would it be a problem to use those snapshots from Dorsal?
