I could not agree more! Let's clean up that distributions directory and
maybe only keep the latest two 4.x releases and the latest one 3.x
release. So, in this case that would be:
php-4.3.1
php-4.3.0
php-3.0.18
Also, do we need both .gz and .bz2 versions releases? I think we could
decide on one.
As for what to do with the older stuff ... I know someone had started a
PHP museum with all the older releases back to PHP 1.x I think.
Hopefully bandwidth isn't an issue for that person, but if it is, is
there any reason we couldn't start a sourceforge project called "PHP
Museum" or something, and store all the old releases and patches there?
I'm willing to maintain it.
