Package Source Files Archive?

Is there an archive of the package source files, i.e the link called "Source Files" on https://www.archlinux.org/packages? I would like to find the source files for the recently deleted gnome-perl package. I tried ABS, hoping that the files just vanish from the packages webpage, but "abs extra/gnome-perl" yielded nothing. The only archives I've been able to find so far only host old binaries.

@0strodamus: I was searching for exactly the same, gnome-perl is dependency of Shutter which has been kicked out to the AUR. Will you reupload gnome-perl to the AUR or shall I do it?

@Trilby: Thanks for the link. I see now that I should have gone to https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/log and looked for the commit that I needed. Thanks again!

@PhotonX: Thanks for picking up shutter in the AUR and I wasn't planning to upload gnome-perl.

Ok, I have put all necessary packages (gnome-perl, gnomecanvas-perl and gnome-vfs-perl) to the AUR, I hope that Shutter is now installable.

It should be offered by gnome-vfs-nosmb: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gnome-vfs-nosmb/ Doesn't it work with this package?
