This particular package was moved to https://github.com/ApproxFun/ApproxFun.jl.

Oh, interesting, it shouldn't return a 404 if it wants to redirect... I'll have to poke at this

Just an update, I looked at the data being returned from this call, unfortunately it's just a 404 with ["message"=>"Not Found","documentation_url"=>"https://developer.github.com/v3"]... no nice redirect links or anything.

Not quite sure the best way around this. Possibly we could make a second request to regular github (as opposed to the api) and detect a redirect, but that does introduce overhead and sounds like it could be brittle.
