Well almost everyone, except Thierry, Ari and Daigo have removed their sources.
The result will be: an empty file.  IMO the file can go.
I have one upstream project for which a watch-file can not be made, but
atm I have put it in our upstream cache[0] anyway.  Also for Hobix I am
packaging SVN snapshots and these are put in the upstream cache too.
Since the watch-file supports multiple URLs (does pkg-ruby-get-sources?) I
have added both the upstream-cache URL and Rubyforge URL for Hobix and
this seem to work fine too with uscan.

So.. both "trouble-cases" can be covered with the watch-files. If there
are no objections, I'll remove the sources file and update
pkg-ruby-get-sources accordingly soon?

Regards,
Paul
