hi,

We keep the release tarballs in the
http://git.php.net/?p=3Dweb/php-distributions.git;a=3Dsummary git repo (whi=
ch
is in turn then git submoduled to the
http://git.php.net/?p=3Dweb/php.git;a=3Dsummary git repo, which in turn wil=
l be
provided as an rsync target, from where the php.net mirrors pull the files
required for them to work.
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.
