The tags page used to provide links to download tarballs and zip files,
these are used by the Debian packaging for librttopo & php-geos to monitor
and download new upstream releases.
See for example: Making sure you're not a bot!
The Downloads section for specific tags is also empty.
The API still contains these links:
