Ever since I started my unofficial rpm packages for (open)SUSE and Fedora/RHEL/CentOS I created a new repository for each new release and never deleted them. Of course OBS and Copr guys did sometimes clean ups, so Fedora and openSUSE packages for long end of
life distributions got deleted. But for the rest there are still syslog-ng 3.5 packages on-line.</div>

Not everyone likes to update syslog-ng every second month, so I keep the current workflow and create a new repo for each new release. This way your syslog-ng.conf or package management is not accidentally broken at a random time with a new update, you have
a chance to test a new release thoroughly before upgrading. On the other hand I plan to keep only a year worth of releases instead of everything.</div>

<li>Is there anyone, who needs packages older than one year? With the one year limit I'd delete anything older than 3.17 and delete 3.17 as well, once 3.24 is out, and so on.<br>
