Hello Moblin ,

I picked up an old moblin project which is based on menlow-lpia, MIC1 & moblin1. Yes, pretty old, in moblin terms at least. It's about a year or so ago in developer terms.

In the project that I picked up, it's not possible to build the image that I created way back then because

Err http://v1.moblin.org gaston/main Packages
404 Not Found

By all accounts no longer exists, though I suspect they live in a git repo somewhere.

So, I can accept that old stuff just doesn't get updated but it does raise a couple of important questions:

1. A quote from the moblin website stated ..." one of the goals of image-creator is to provide a build environment that will continue to work for a given product long after the product's base distribution has fallen out of fashion. "

Which doesn't appear hold true in this case. Perhaps they have been just moved & can be found elsewhere to keep old projects building ?

2. More importantly, for the future, are the original goals of moblin still valid.

Thanks,
Will
