Description

The urls provided by apache are not stable and keep on disappearing for each new release of a given project.
So some URLs of Bigtop 0.0.1 are not valid anymore, and preventing Bigtop from working out of the box.

So we should get rid of APACHE_MIRROR or implement something in the build system to try downloading from different URLs on error.

For instance, some user has reported not being able to build pig of Bigtop 0.0.1.
