I think you've misinterpreted this. We *don't* try to keep the daily builds around for more than a few days. They're a moving target. The only reason that the 2019 images are still around at all is that they're the last few builds where we had a build for mips. (There's logic in the cleanup scripts to keep a few builds per architecture.) I'll clean up those old directories now. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com "I can't ever sleep on planes ... call it irrational if you like, but I'm afraid I'll miss my stop" -- Vivek Das Mohapatra
