The OP there titles and suggests opening more development branches, which is of course a much bigger subject and resources, not really relavant to this thread here. To be clear, as in this subject, "Archive last builds"... (Builds: the binary packages, Archive: to store, after the rest of the ports src and builds have moved on) No development resources are consumed, that is banned here, see "frozen" in this thread. The only real expense in this thread is a few minutes of sysadmin time once a quarter, basically symlinks, and some HTML doc. Will continue reading that thread just in case anyone there had talked about simply keeping the final [quarterly] builds around for a while. In fact, since the packages have the hash in the filename and thus don't collide, every one over the life of the branch could be kept in physical distribution, even though only the current set would appear in the pkg metadata files for use by pkg.
