Current evaluation

OpenWrt install docs link to snapd 2.0.10 source tarball on people.canonical.com/~teknoraver that no longer exists, blocking a documented build; no maintainer reply in ~8 years.

Suggested action: needs triage

Reason: The report is a stale third-party link ('http://people.canonical.com/~teknoraver/' returning nothing) in the install-openwrt documentation, and the page lives outside this repo — grep for 'openwrt' and 'teknoraver' in the snapcraft tree returns no matches and no commits mention OpenWrt. The bug has zero comments, no labels and no maintainer response after ~8 years, so it has never been assessed and a maintainer must decide whether to redirect it to snapcore/docs (or close it if the page was retired). Impact is small and niche (OpenWrt is a marginal snapd target), and the real fix is a one-line doc URL update once ownership is confirmed.

Issue body

Following the link "https://docs.snapcraft.io/core/install-openwrt", i can download snapd package for OpenWrt, but downloading source code "snapd-2.0.10.tar.xz" from "http://people.canonical.com/~teknoraver/" is failed while compiling the package. I checked the source code URL. It doesn't exist anymore.
