Sure, but there is no reason to tax the mirrors by having them keep all those old versions. They would still be available non-mirrored to those who wanted them (with a good README pointing the way). Keep in mind that some of the releases are security releases and we do not want people under any circumstance to be using them. So I would keep (for example) the highest revision for each minor version in the 7.x series, and have a note telling them where to find the older ones, and what was fixed that caused the revision to jump. - -- Greg Sabino Mullane greg@turnstep.com PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 200411091912 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQFBkV0KvJuQZxSWSsgRAo8iAJ9fozyskd7W+5qL7sw8drQsqAVkvwCg5mlB x1uUtZ9/ygYVhIFBXQcE4QI= =h33q -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
