--=-v//dkH2CD5u1MdRuMOTn Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I have accumulated these for a little while. Reasonable attempts to make them fetchable again by finding a new home or archive have failed, so they should be decent candidates for removal. I think they should be marked DEPRECATED and given an EXPIRATION_DATE. Maybe some of them don't deserve it - in that case let me know. List attached. Cheers Sam --=-v//dkH2CD5u1MdRuMOTn Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Unfetchable ports.txt" Content-Type: text/plain; name="Unfetchable ports.txt"; charset=ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit archivers/libcabinet Gone astro/fooseti Gone.
