|
|
I just thought that it would be nice to have the access to older portage snapshot tarballs. For example if somebody like to build an old system (using gcc 3.3, glibc-2.3.4, xorg 6.7.*) with all the applications that were used at that time.
Is there any possibillity to download somewhere a tarball like for example portage-20051010.tar.bz2 ?!?
Don't ask me for logical reasons to do this (maybe to be able to use older hardware, that isn't able to build gcc 4.1) I just thought that this would be interesting. _________________ There are no dumb questions, just dumb answers.

There are no historic tarballs (20MB per day for months/years is a bit much), but you can use the new anoncvs service, see last weeks GWN about it. It's not exactly the same though as the tarballs also include some additional data (pregenerated cache, glsas, dtds) that's injected elsewhere, but for most cases it should be sufficient. |
