Just for the record, I don't think this has anything to do about rpmlint 
liking some URLs or not; if it reports 404, that's what it got at the moment 
it was run.  Google code is known for these kinds of (apparently transient) 
problems, for example the source check results regularly posted on this list 
show the same issue.
