Shall we remove bad-checksum files on http://sources.openembedded.org/?

[Michael Halstead]

With the current setup files will accumulate on 
http://sources.openembedded.org/ over time and none will be removed. Are 
there any patterns that should be removed over time? *bad-checksum* 
files seem like an obvious choice. Please share concerns or suggust 
other patterns to remove.

Thank you,

Yes they serve no purpose deleting them is in order

I should also check the Jenkins job to ignore them

I've removed all of those files and prevented them from being mirrored 
in the future.

Are there any other files we should remove?

Can you look at what files get downloaded? mirrors exists to provide a
place to download files that have disappeared from their original
locations. People maintaining old systems should have saved local
copies, but if not they depend on our source mirrors for GPL compliance
exercises.

It would be useful to know what "old"files are being downloaded to give
us an idea how many people are using older "versions" of OpenEmbedded.

I'm always curious :) But it could give us usage imformation for old
releases that we could use to make support decisions. Also give Michael
an idea of how long we should mirror files.
