» Packman: deleting 10.3 packages

openSUSE 10.3 has been EOL (end of life) since end of october, and we (Packman) are still hosting our packages for 10.3, even though we don't maintain them any more. Hence we will remove them from our primary server and our mirrors, but will give you some time to make a copy if you need those packages for whatever reason (it is strongly discouraged to keep using an end of life distribution though, you have been warned). In order to do a backup, I would recommend using rsync, as follows:

mkdir -p ~/packman/10.3
rsync -aP rsync://ftp.skynet.be/packman/suse/10.3/ \
~/packman/10.3/

We will delete the 10.3 packages end of this year, hence make sure that you make a backup until December 31st if you need it. And if you wonder why we simply don't keep that old cruft around, well, it's using 36 GB of disk space, on our primary server and on each of our mirrors, respectively.
