Accessing the repository gets slower and slower due to the ever increasing number of versions there.<br>
<br>
To make it faster we could remove old package versions. Say, everything older than a year (but keep at least one version of each package). We could move those to an "attic" repository.<br>

Sounds good? Other ideas?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Sounds good. I would have attics for each year. The history identifies the publication date so finding the right attic for a given version is fine. One attic is OK since attic access is presumably rare and hence performance not a premium. But attic will be worse than trunk as soon as older packages are moved there.</div>
