<p>(I was wrong, I'd deleted some of the older or buggier
releases.) I can shove them into github or else some other place
as directed... This collection is 1.3 GB.</p>

<div>Geodetic users are still using older versions of DiFX
(2.5.4, 2.5.5, 2.6.2) so it would be good to have the older
versions available as tarballs somewhere. On a more positive
note I think we're closing in on a method to use 2.9, but I
still think having the old versions available would be
useful. </div>

<div>Hi difx-users,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Since we migrated to git some time ago, CSIRO wants to
take the DiFX SVN repo offline. They propose that the repo
would be disabled, ie moved out of the way so it can't be
seen from the web. It will be otherwise intact, just not
visible. The proposed change date is Wed 8 April 2026, so
quite soon actually. (I just heard about this today).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As far as I remember/understand the state of play, the
SVN version history for every file currently in git is
available from the DiFX git repo, but we don't have all
the original tags (DiFX-2.1, DiFX-2.2, etc etc) available
as git tags. So I think the loss of SVN would
inconvenience anyone that wanted to get an older version.
We could probably mitigate that by getting tarballs of all
the older versions and sticking them somewhere. But do
other people have thoughts as to whether access to the old
svn archive would be problematic enough to push back on,
rather than work around?</div>
