Ah OK. I see (for the other people who need to do this) that you can:
* Browse to BFAV2's mczs at http://kilana.unibe.ch:8888/BFAV2/
* Download those versions that SqueakSource has "forgotten"
* re-upload the versions through the web interface

Adjust as required for your package.

Hm, I just got surprised though: I was about to follow my steps above because they latest version SqueakSource knew about was BFAV2-fbs.179. But by the time I'd downloaded the files, I saw that SqueakSource knew about them again. Was that a recovery on your part, Marcus, a result of my downloading the files, or what? Admittedly, the last version was uploaded November 16, so maybe its metadata was simply never affected?
