Indeed not:

$ git show 2013.05:package/x11r7/mesa3d/mesa3d.mk | grep VERSION
MESA3D_VERSION = 7.10.3
MESA3D_SOURCE = MesaLib-$(MESA3D_VERSION).tar.gz
MESA3D_SITE = ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/$(MESA3D_VERSION)
$

But the sources on ftp.freedesktop.org have been moved from pub/mesa/7.10.3/
topub/mesa/old_versions/7.x/7.10.3/, apparently around Aug 12th, 2013.
This is unfortunately a recurring bad habit.:(

Has anybody here ever asked the freedesktop guys to refrain from moving
files around?

Apparently this was not done for 2013.05, or it didn't work for mesa3d.
Peter, any idea? Otherwise, can you force the download now to fix this?

Anyway, 7.10.3 that is a pretty old release (~2 years old), there are 
many more
recent ones. Ryan, you may try to bump version. Releases since 8.0 are 
in the
"standard" download directory at ftp.freedesktop.org.

Or, for a quick workaround, you may just change the URL in
package/x11r7/mesa3d/mesa3d.mk.
