<p>One potential mid-way is to have a <a

directory where we regularly move old tarballs.<br>

<div dir="auto">As someone maintaining installations off the usual
grid - for instance proxied through other layers, or simply on
LAN, I can say that I have appreciated the very thing you are
against. It is quite a job trying to find an old version of a
lib or tool required, once developers pull them off the net.</div>

<div dir="auto">I have been building my own bucket of versions of
libraries I have happened to stumble upon. Just in case - and
have needed it several times. Currently it is mostly obscure
libraries people thought was fun to include in the early 2000s,
but anyway. I see no harm in providing old versions as long as
it is clearly stated that they are old and obsolete.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all: Looking at <a
href="http://download.osgeo.org/mapserver/"
target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">
http://download.osgeo.org/mapserver/</a> it seems
strange to me to offer access old versions of the
software for download that we wouldn’t want anyone
using. Many will have security issues or other bugs
that have been long since resolved. If someone really
wants an old release it can be obtained from the git
repo. What do folks think about only offering
downloads for the versions that we’d consider under
maintenance?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Personally I consider that 6.4.6 ,
7.4.4 and 7.6.2 – and those 3 may be too much. Same
thing goes for MapCache and TinyOWS.</p>
