Could you be more specific? How many days exactly?
I'm asking because my replacement for the pseudo image kit (for
downloading CD images), in contrast to the original PIK, *must* be
able to download all the .debs. (It doesn't use rsync.)
If at some point I decide to provide weekly testing CD images via my
scheme, I must be sure that during the week after the generation of
the CD image none of the .debs used for that image get deleted from
the mirrors.
Ideally, I'd like superseded packages to stay in the pool for at least
12 days (7 days plus enough time for changes to propagate to all
mirrors, and for slow downloaders to finish downloading).
Cheers,
Richard
