Since I know there have been complaints about packages remaining in the ftp directories when new ones are uploaded, how about we modify the /arch/db-* update scripts run by the devs to move old versions of updated packages into ~/staging/<repo>/old?
How about an "old" directory stored somewhere on the filesystem accessible by everyone? (incase the update broke something and the maintainer isn't around to restore).
+1 for it to be a public old directory, as long as people still clean it out once in a while.
This makes the default behavior that they stick around but aren't cluttering the ftp directory.
Just an idea I had that I didn't want us to lose.
Sounds good to me.
