Hello,
As you may know I'm running ARM[1] since the last maintainer resign in August 2013. I would like to propose its addition into our official services.
My current suggestion is to keep the current server and hierarchy and to move it under an archlinux.org subdomain. So far, best suggestions are: - archive.archlinux.org - museum.archlinux.org - rollback.archlinux.org
Current cost in byte is: # du -hcs 2013 2014 111G 2013 55G 2014 165G total
In a second time, we could: - move the files on an official server - move installer backups[2] - add AUR - backup them (by mirroring or others)
Current used scripts are freely available here[3].

You may be forgetting an important point. I may be wrong, but we also have to serve the sources [1] for these binary packages if it's going to appear like we're "supporting" this system of rolling back. And for every version at that. Our argument for having only one version currently is because we "support" only one version at any one time. I'm not sure if having this system as part of our infrastructure is going to affect that position. [1] ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/sources -- GPG/PGP ID: C0711BF1
