Going off-line in >~=90 days: Re: I have available missing older files for Debian archive (debian-30r0-i386 verified; also unverified: debian-21r0-i386-binary-1)



Have generally made these available for over 2 years now.
In bit over 90 days from now I'll remove them from being on-line.
Gone will be [www.]old-debian.mpaoli.net
and from under that, the files that have been (and I presume likely still
are?) missing from the Debian archive needed to assemble these full sets
of Debian ISO images:
Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 r0 "Woody" - Official i386 Binary-1 (20020718)
Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 r0 "Woody" - Official i386 Binary-1 (20020718) (NONUS)
Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 r0 "Woody" - Official i386 Binary-2 (20020718)
Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 r0 "Woody" - Official i386 Binary-3 (20020718)
Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 r0 "Woody" - Official i386 Binary-4 (20020718)
Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 r0 "Woody" - Official i386 Binary-5 (20020718)
Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 r0 "Woody" - Official i386 Binary-6 (20020718)
Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 r0 "Woody" - Official i386 Binary-7 (20020718)
plus also the (unverified but presumed good) copy I have of:
Debian GNU/Linux slink (2.1) 1/4 main binary-i386 section 1 SAM19990908

If any of those files missing from and needed to complete the Debian
archive haven't been replaced to the archive, or at least downloaded
and saved to be able to do so, I'd suggest doing so relatively soon.

I'd suggest:
use the canonical site name:
http://www.old-debian.mpaoli.net/
note the files in:
http://www.old-debian.mpaoli.net/mirror/cdimage/archive/3.0_r0/i386/jigdo-cd/not.in.debian.archive
(that file may be going away soon - just created it earlier today - but
it does presently list relevant files missing from the debian archive,
I may also dedupe it further and remove those available within
ftp://ftp.rz.uni-frankfurt.de/pub/_Linux/Debian/dists/Debian3.0r0/debian-30r0-i386-binary-1_NONUS.iso
).
retrieve those specific files listed in
http://www.old-debian.mpaoli.net/mirror/cdimage/archive/3.0_r0/i386/jigdo-cd/not.in.debian.archive
from under:
http://www.old-debian.mpaoli.net/jigdo-area/3.0_r0/snapshot/
retrieve and save:
ftp://ftp.rz.uni-frankfurt.de/pub/_Linux/Debian/dists/Debian3.0r0/debian-30r0-i386-binary-1_NONUS.iso
One should then - along with what's already in the debian archives, have all
the data needed to populate the files that are missing from the debian
archives (at least for - debian-30r0-i386) with those missing files, added,
one then has everything needed to construct and validate the files:
debian-30r0-i386-binary-1.iso
debian-30r0-i386-binary-2.iso
debian-30r0-i386-binary-3.iso
debian-30r0-i386-binary-4.iso
debian-30r0-i386-binary-5.iso
debian-30r0-i386-binary-6.iso
debian-30r0-i386-binary-7.iso
And optionally if desired and it's not otherwise available (I don't have
the files to validate it, but I'd be interested if anyone has those),
one may wish to snag copy of:
http://www.old-debian.mpaoli.net/debian/ISOs/debian-21r0-i386-binary-1.iso

The data is still up and hosted thus far ...

months back.
I'll be thinning it out, though, to only what's
needed to restore/recreate the bits that are missing from the debian
archives and that can't also be restored from other location(s)
available on-line, notably:
ftp://ftp.rz.uni-frankfurt.de/pub/_Linux/Debian/dists/Debian3.0r0/debian-30r0-i3
86-binary-1_NONUS.iso
And will probably eventually stop hosting the data (e.g. like maybe
about 90 days from now).  Have had it up and available for years - that
ought be quite long enough.

Steve/Michael,

Would it be helpful if I grabbed the ISOs at http://www.mpaoli.net/debian/ISOs/
(I don't have time to sort out all the jigdo steps, as I would just
stuff them onto
my home NAS server for now.)

I can make them available later when Steve or someone else on the Debian-cd
team has more time.

Steve,

Did you manage to grab these yet for the Debian archive?  I still have
them up and available thus far, but don't yet see in the Apache logs
evidence that they've been retrieved (at least beyond the README file).

Anyway, the basic "how to" and what's available, etc., remains at:
http://www.old-debian.mpaoli.net/debian/README

Let me know sometime.


Hi Michael,

I've been completely swamped in the last few weeks with several
conferences to attend, and one to organise. However, that doesn't
excuse my being rude in not replying to your previous emails. :-(
Please accept my sincere apologies for not getting back to you lately.

I *have* now downloaded the files you've provided - you'll probably
have seen log entries showing downloads from free.hands.com, aka
ftp.uk.debian.org. I'll start working through those files shortly, to
fill in whatever gaps I can in the snapshots we're hosting.

Thanks *very* much for your help!
