We have all sorts of full and base images, scsi-specific, etc. but outside of keeping arch-0.1 do we really want to appear like we care about previous releases?
Yes, we can save about 16GB with removing the whole archive. Nothing in there is of use imho. And even if in doubt we have a whole history of sources.
* gerolde: /srv/cvs
We never imported those to svn; so with removing those we'll loose some history. But again I don't think there is anything of value in there.

Pierre, can we adjust CLEANUP_KEEP down to 30? That is still a lot of time and would at least reduce the burden of space of some frequently updated packages.
Sure. Even just two weeks should be enough time to notice that you have accidentally removed a needed package.
These are all suggestions, I am not opposed to keeping things if people have a valid reason. But this might also make any backup picture a bit more clear and give us more room and leeway to package some bigger things which seems to be the trend lately.
I'd rather move some spare bytes to gudrun than adding another huge game package with low usage to the repos. ;-) -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre
