We move the old packages from the distributions repo to the museum to shrink the size of the checkout and the space requirement for the mirrors. I'm fairly sure that we won't be able to change that and provide each and every archive tarball from http://museum.php.net/ on our php.net mirrors. What we could do is maybe setting up an api to fetch the download url(s) for a given release or to set up a redirect pointing to museum if the requested archive seems to be sane, but it isn't found on the mirror. Let's see what others think. ps: cc'ing the webmaster mailing list. -- Ferenc Kovács @Tyr43l - http://tyrael.hu
