Note these are superseeded by RH, not FL, e.g. noone wants to remove the last vendor provided package, only the ones that the vendor himself doomed to /dev/null. Keeping old packages in the repos is not helpful, especially for an end user using yum. yum cannot downgrade packages anyway, and hardly an end user will want to go back in package history in FL scope (an FL user relies on the fact that surfing on latest FL updates will give him a secure system). Developers may be interested to be able to track a package back, but IMHO we don't need that structure replicated over all mirrors raising each distros space by a factor of 50%. Just look at the plethora of obsoleted kernel packages, e.g. (i686/up only) -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 13M Jan 7 2004 download.fedoralegacy.org/fedora/1/updates/i386/kernel-2.4.22-1.2140.nptl.i686.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 13M Feb 19 2004 download.fedoralegacy.org/fedora/1/updates/i386/kernel-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl.i686.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 13M Apr 14 2004 download.fedoralegacy.org/fedora/1/updates/i386/kernel-2.4.22-1.2179.nptl.i686.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 13M Apr 22 2004 download.fedoralegacy.org/fedora/1/updates/i386/kernel-2.4.22-1.2188.nptl.i686.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 13M Jun 21 2004 download.fedoralegacy.org/fedora/1/updates/i386/kernel-2.4.22-1.2194.nptl.i686.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 13M Jul 1 2004 download.fedoralegacy.org/fedora/1/updates/i386/kernel-2.4.22-1.2197.nptl.i686.rpm My vote is to remove them from the repo structure, and if there is interest to place them outside the mirroring area. Keeping the mirror space low makes it more attractive to mirrors. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
