Providing old packages is actually easier (more or less automatic, actually) with per-aircraft git repositories since that works better with the "download tarball" option at gitorious - provied you put version tags on the aircraft. Here is the FG 1.9.0 version of my US Navy ZF free balloon: http://gitorious.org/flightgear-aircraft/zf_navy_free_balloon/trees/version/1.9.0 with the 2.0.0 and 2.4.0 versions mere clicks away. There is one snag: the top-level directory has to be renamed manually.
