Hi!
Here is the contens of the php.net/distributions dir:
php-4.2.3.tar.gz
index.php php-4.2.3-Win32.zip
mime.c.diff-3.0.gz php-4.3.0-dev-zend2-alpha1pl1.tar.gz
php-3.0.17-win32.zip php-4.3.0-dev-zend2-alpha1.tar.gz
php-3.0.18.tar.gz php-4.3.0-dev-zend2-alpha2.tar.gz
php-4.0.6-memlimit.diff.gz php-4.3.0-dev-zend2-win32-alpha1.zip
php-4.0.6-to-4.1.1.patch.gz php-4.3.0-dev-zend2-win32-alpha2.zip
php-4.1.0-to-4.1.1.patch.gz php-4.3.0-installer.exe
php-4.1.2.tar.gz php-4.3.0.tar.bz2
php-4.1.2-Win32.zip php-4.3.0.tar.gz
php-4.2.0-to-4.2.2.patch.gz php-4.3.0-to-4.3.1.patch.gz
php-4.2.1-to-4.2.2.patch.gz php-4.3.0-Win32.zip
php-4.2.2-installer.exe php-4.3.1-installer.exe
php-4.2.2.tar.bz2 php-4.3.1.tar.bz2
php-4.2.2.tar.gz php-4.3.1.tar.gz
php-4.2.2-Win32.zip php-4.3.1-Win32.zip
php-4.2.3-installer.exe rfc1867.c.diff-4.0.6.gz
php-4.2.3.tar.bz2 rfc1867.c.diff-4.1.x.gz
PHP 4.1.x files and binaries are not worth to be here anymore, are they? It
does slows down new mirror setups, cvs checkouts, cvs updates during DST
changes, etc to have those files here. They are even not linked for
download... Some patch files should also be removed, don't you think?

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.

Well, the bz2 version for the latest PHP is approx. 1MB smaller then the gz
version. I guess developers who download PHP source have bz2 on their
machines. Or is there any linux/unix without bz2 support? Or do we assume
that guys on Windows are unable to unbzip2 the download [also noting that the
docs are only provided in bz2 now!].

It was Mark AFAIK, and I don't think he has bandwidth problems. There is
probably not too much traffic there. The site is also linked from the
downloads page.

My Mac and Windows copies of Stuffit Expander handle .bz2 files. WinZip
doesn't. And there are lots of bzip apps for Windows.

The lack of traffic may be because the "recent" downloads are available
from all the mirrors. I'm just wondering if we take them off the
mirrors, what will the traffic be?
But you are probably right ... I imagine that most of the downloads are
for the most recent versions. If we move everything like I suggested
off of the mirrors and into the museum, Mark's probably not going to
notice any traffic difference.

Winrar works with bz2, not very well... but it works
I think we need a .zip for windows and a .gz and/or .bz2 for Linux
If a windows newbie goes to the download page and sees only a .bz2
available, he'll get extremely confused :)
The .zip is sort of mandatory, IMO :)

We need both, both GZip and BZip. See the discussions on the
documentation list which are about the same topic.

Still there is only bz2 download of the docs...

As I said, If I could fix it I would have done it.

Okay, so we keep the gzip and bzip versions of the release, plus the
Windows version.
Still, are we cool with dropping all but the last two releases from the
mirrors?

I would keep 4.2.3 and ditch 4.3.0. 4.2.3 is still in use a lot, and
4.3.0 has a security hole anyway (the only difference between 4.3.0 and
4.3.1 is that hole).

While it is true that I have no bandwidth problems, I wouldn't say there was
a lack of traffic on 'The PHP Museum' site. In the past 10 months there was
636 GB worth of downloads through http, and probably a lot of through ftp
which I don't make statistics on.
