Thread: FTP directories
Dear all, The ftp directory on Snake has "beta" and "release" directories. Is it still worth publishing the "beta" directory? It could confuse users who may consider "beta" as a more recent work than "release". I would be in favor of removing the "beta" directory to keep it simple. The other solution would be to rename "beta" 0.9.2 and "release" 1.0.0. Cheers, Jean-Michel
Agreed (to removing them). I also intend to clear down all the snapshot directories.

That cleared quite a few Gb - I hadn't realised we'd used so much. > We need them for upcoming patches. Snapshots off the main branch you mean, or are you intending to make snapshots from the patches branch? That could get messy... Regards, Dave.

Apt will give an error for these users. A polite way of handling this would be to give a "page has moved" http answer when requesting any page placed under beta/debian/ IMHO, we should consider this for next beta/non-beta releases.

Hi Raphael, Unfortunately the vast majority of the mirrors are out of our control at that level - besides, they are ftp mirrors so wecannot give http response codes :-) Regards, Dave.
