| Hi,

Wow, I didn't realize that.... Is this because of how PPA's work? Certainly I
would have expected to be able to get archived versions of released .deb
versions of Bazaar.

Looking at:
~  https://launchpad.net/~bzr/+archive
and
~  http://ppa.launchpad.net/bzr/ubuntu/pool/main/b/bzr/

I only see bzr-1.2, and a bzrtools 1.1 for hardy. (Perhaps just because 1.2
wasn't packaged for hardy yet?)

Anyway, this seems like a severe limitation of PPAs if they don't allow
maintaining an archive of old packages.

At a minimum, I would want us to start mirroring the packages over to
http://bazaar-vcs.org/releases/debs/*

I'm actually pretty unhappy that the 1.1.deb files are not available anymore. Do
we know if there is a way to get them back?
