Hi ArchLinux-Team


For some months now I'm using ArchLinux (i686) and I like it much.

I use a local package mirror which I sometimes update using rsync.
Since about 2 weeks I found out that old package versions of updated 
packages in the community repository not get deleted anymore.
core and extra is OK.

Here an example of e.g. filezilla which gets last updated on 19.11:

./ArchLinux/community/os/i686/filezilla-3.5.3-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz
./ArchLinux/community/os/i686/filezilla-3.5.3-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz.sig
./ArchLinux/community/os/i686/filezilla-3.6.0-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz
./ArchLinux/community/os/i686/filezilla-3.6.0-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz.sig
./ArchLinux/community/os/i686/filezilla-3.6.0.1-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz
./ArchLinux/community/os/i686/filezilla-3.6.0.1-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz.sig

Is this known or a bug?


regards
   Jens
