``SourceforgePackage`` is a
`mixin-class <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixin>`_. It automatically
sets the URL based on a list of Sourceforge mirrors listed in
`sourceforge_mirror_path`, which defaults to a half dozen known mirrors.
Refer to the package source
(`<https://github.com/spack/spack/blob/develop/lib/spack/spack/build_systems/sourceforge.py>`__) for the current list of mirrors used by Spack.
^^^^^^^
Methods
^^^^^^^
This package provides a method for populating mirror URLs.
**urls**
This method returns a list of possible URLs for package source.
It is decorated with `property` so its results are treated as
a package attribute.
Refer to
`<https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/packaging_guide.html#mirrors-of-the-main-url>`__
for information on how Spack uses the `urls` attribute during
fetching.
^^^^^
Usage
^^^^^
This helper package can be added to your package by adding it as a base
class of your package and defining the relative location of an archive
file for one version of your software.

Over 40 packages are using ``SourceforcePackage`` this mix-in as of
July 2022 so there are multiple packages to choose from if you want
to see a real example.
