The sources.buildroot.net mirror is updated only when a Buildroot
release is made. The last stable release is currently 2013.05, which
was using MesaLib 7.10.1, which explains why it is available from our
mirror.

The bump to 7.10.3 was done by commit
53cea4462c67a6707bf8dad83fa928262e44fce9 in June 2013, i.e after the
2013.05 release. Since the 2013.08 release hasn't been made yet, I
believe Peter has not updated the Buildroot mirror, and therefore it
doesn't contain for the moment all the new versions of the tarballs
that have been upgraded since 2013.05.

But normally, Buildroot uses the upstream location first. It doesn't
work MesaLib ? The Buildroot mirror is normally here for "old" versions
of Buildroot, where the upstream location might have changed or
disappeared.

Best regards,

Thomas
