On April 17th (Thursday) I plan to move some of the old updates directories
from the Mandrake/updates tree to Mandrake-old/updates. The versions that
will be affected are:
CS1.0.1
6.0
6.1
7.0
7.1
8.0
8.1
ppc/8.0
ia64/8.1
If you maintain your own mirror of the updates tree, please keep this in
mind and move these directories manually on or before the 17th and modify
your rsync/ftp/etc. scripts accordingly so that you are not re-downloading a
few GB of data. I am unsure of what time the move will actually take place
as I likely won't be the one actually doing it.
The 7.2 directory will be moved when SNF7.2 has reached it's EOL.
Jacques, can you please forward this message to all the mirror contacts so
they are aware of the changes and can move those directories themselves. I
don't know of an easier way to do this and prevent folks from re-downloading
a bunch of stuff, so I've cc'd this to a few mailing lists where I think
folks who are mirroring this (as users, companies, internally, etc.) would
be paying attention.
Thanks. If you have any concerns, please direct them to personally as I
won't be discussing this on mailing lists.
