My apologies to people on these lists, but a correction to the previous
mail.

We shall be deleting distfiles on ftp.netbsd.org that are older than 3
years, that being: (a) the retention time specified by the GPL, and (b) a
convenient time period for us(*). We shall also be deleting any binary
packages that are older than 3 years and that are still around on
ftp.netbsd.org.

If you'd like to make backup copies of the old distfiles, please do it
before 12:00 UTC on 26th October 2000.

Regards,
Alistair

[*] Yes, it's hard to believe that pkgsrc is over 3 years old, but we've
come a long way in those 3 years.
