We should keep packages forever in allpkgs.

This is already the case: allpkgs/ is not included in the main rsync offering, just in opencsw-full: > dam@login [login]:/home/dam > rsync rsync://mirror.opencsw.org > csw Legacy name, please switch to the identical 'opencsw' > opencsw CSW Primary Mirror, use this if you are mirroring OpenCSW > (the archive "allpkgs" is now in 'opencsw-full') > opencsw-full CSW Primary Mirror, contains full archive of old packages > opencsw-future The proposed future layout of the OpenCSW Primary, layout may > change without notice at any time This is done by using the exclude-directive in rsync.conf for "csw" and "opencsw": exclude = allpkgs HEADER.txt Having all packages on the primary mirror is also good IMHO. This way each downstream-site can easily select what to offer.
