Frank suggested softlinks, but for archival reasons I would lean to
full copies. Disk space is cheap, and if in years time we move
grass.osgeo.org to another server which is not shared with
download.osgeo.org (or dl.osgeo.o moves away from us) I fear the
softlinks will get broken and not fixed, or at least be a pain to redo
for old releases.


thanks,
