[tde-users] Migration of services - 10. primary archive

Hi all, the tenth service on the migration list is the primary archive. -- Migration status -- The change of the primary archive was made before the release of R14.0.7 (in October 2019). This removed the dependency of the primary archive on QuickBuild, which made it possible to make a change in the archive layout and cleanup. The reprepro tool is now used to manage repositories of deb packages, which allows us to publish new releases very smoothly. Thanks to the use of reprepro, Contents files for apt-file are also available. Because the primary archive is too large to be placed on a tde-box or tde-vps, it is located on my home server. In order to reduce the size for the mirror system, packages of older versions are excluded. I would like to thank those who provides mirrors for our repositories, and especially Mike Bird for his efforts and attention in managing the primary mirror and overseeing the status of other mirrors. -- What needs to be done -- We may consider placing the primary archive in a hosting center - for example, by purchasing larger disks for tde-box or by increasing the space provided for tde-vps. However, it will probably be a good idea to consider such changes only after we are able to manage the project funds and accept donations. -- More ideas and suggestions? Do you have any other ideas and suggestions? Cheers -- Slávek
