There is no value in keeping 2.2.7 packages when 2.2.8 packages are
available from the same place.

Here's what I currently carry on my mirror:

Directory /xyz:/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/
packages@		packages-3.0-current@	packages-4-current@
packages-2.2.8/		packages-3.0-stable@	packages-4.0-current@
packages-3-stable/	packages-3.1-release/	packages-current@
packages-3.0/		packages-3.1-stable@	packages-stable@

When alpha packages start turning up, I'll probably have to trim some
more (or just not carry the alpha stuff).
