CentOS - Dec 2016 - Looking for DirectFB 1.4.11 RPMs for 32-bit CentOS 6

Our current build process requires the directfb-1.4.11-3.el6.i686.rpm and
directfb-devel-1.4.11-3.el6.i686.rpm packages, but they appear to be no longer
available from the EPEL repo, and I can?t find them anywhere else either.  If
you have a local copy, or can point me to some other repo or web site that has
these 2 RPMs, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Alfred

This is how you can find them:
I went to the package directory:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/rpms/directfb/
They are all retired, but when you click on the builds status, you
still see the old builds.
click on the last build for Epel6, and you find
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=665511
which has the download links for all architectures.

hope this helps,
  Timotheus

Thanks for the quick reply.  I was able to download
directfb-1.4.11-3.el6.i686.rpm, but while I found an info page for the
corresponding -devel package
(https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/rpminfo?rpmID=6502900), I could not find
the actual RPM to download.  I?ll keep poking around.  Thanks for pointing me in
the right direction...

Not only has the package been removed from EPEL, upstream also seemed to
have disappeared. This mysterious disappearance tickled my curiosity.
Looked around a bit on the net, to find that wikipedia already knows
what I didn't: Upstream has moved from www.directfb.org to
www.directfb.net.

Regards,
Leonard.
