Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Retention time for SimRel releases

[Frederic Gurr <frederic.gurr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Since SimRel (and EPP) release bits are accessed a lot more (and usually
for a longer period of time) than other files, I think it makes sense to
keep more releases (e.g. the last 8) on download.eclipse.org and the
mirrors.

@Denis: can you confirm my assumption with any numbers? or are the
download numbers for releases older than the last two also insignificant
for SimRel and EPP releases?

Regards,

Fred
