<br>
</div>No, we'll need to move to a new wiki. But I did ask the Enthought<br>
admin to keep a domain like <a href="http://oldipython.scipy.org" target="_blank">oldipython.scipy.org</a> for a while, so we<br>
can go fish anything we may have missed (and I still have ssh access<br>
to the underlying account, if need be).<br>

<br>
</div>Fine by me, but two questions:<br>
<br>
- places like pypi expect a base url for downloads (what our old dist/<br>
one did) and they go fishing in there for files (eggs, sources, etc).<br>
Would the GH downloads area still work for that?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yes - if you've ever pip installed pyzmq you got it from the GitHub downloads page.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
<br>
- the dist/ area is BIG, as in 400MB big right now. Before I push<br>
that, I want to make sure everyone saying that we go that route is OK<br>
with it :) I don't have time right now to spend a few hours pruning<br>
old files, and I also *want* a public archive of all our old versions,<br>
so simply deleting all the old releases is not on the table. I can<br>
push that dist/ as-is right now, but the next git pull of that repo<br>
will be hefty for those working with it :)<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I didn't realize just how huge it was.</div><div><br></div><div>As it stands, GitHub is not a good place to put lots of large files.

<div><br></div><div>As Brian said, I think the IPython install downloads should *not* go in the pages repo, but rather in the GitHub Downloads section, but we may want to limit that to >= 0.10.</div><div><br></div><div>
If we want to keep bdists in perpetuity, we need somewhere else. *New* releases, though, should certainly be in the GitHub downloads section.</div><div><br></div><div>-MinRK</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
