There's only one "server" and that is cygwin.com (aka sourceware.org aka gcc.gnu.org). Disk space is limited there. Of course, the real reason why we don't do this, though, is "because we're mean". However, meanness aside, A google search of "cygwin time machine" might prove instructive. It would unearth this URL: http://www.fruitbat.org/Cygwin/index.html#cygwincirca . This is an independent (not supported by this site) project to archive all previous releases of cygwin.

I kept the xorg-x11 6.7.0 packages for some time on www.cygwin.com but had removed them a short time ago for several reasons - make room for 6.8.2. The xorg-x11 packages are huge - 6.7.0 is about one year old (it was released on april 7th 2004) - setup.exe does only handle 3 releases. When doing updates I try to keep the direct predecessor (for easy reverting an update) and a bit older version for regression checks. eg 6.8.2-5, 6.8.2-4 and 6.8.1-7 For 6.8.0 and 6.8.1 I kept 6.7.0 but now it's too old to be useful in general bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723

Hey! Thanks ago, already had those sources from CVS laying around. I'll get the other source-code from some other place. How come older packages aren't kept online on atleast a couple of servers? //Sebastian

Obtaining older packages...
Hey ppl! I'm on the hunt for older versions of Cygwin packages than are available in any of the FTP archives. Does anyone know where to find them? I doubt they're just deleted. What I'm looking for is the SRC package of the following zlib-1.2.1-1, cygwin-1.5.10-3, X-startup-scripts-1.0.8-1, and xorg-x11-bin-dlls-6.7.0.0-5. Cheers, Sebastian
