The URLs were constant originally, but kernel.org have since removed the
fragment pages without explanation.

Master_Kernel, the lead developer, is looking at other methods of
capturing latest version and kernel/patch package information:

*  The RSS feed is one possible source, but it doesn't include the
required information for all the support patches and kernels. Plus, it
can contain old patch information.

*  Another alternative being looked into, is parsing the kernel.org home
page. It will be a nightmare to parse, but it has most of the
information needed.

*  Another alternative being looked into, is parsing the download
folders for the patches and kernel. This might be the easiest option,
because there are sym-links within these folders to the latest patches
and kernel. I believe a similar method is already being used to capture
the old kernels list, and the linux-next patch.
