Incoming removal of old packages from HP-UX archive
Hello everyone,

I've been in touch with the folks maintaining the HP-UX archive at http://hpux.connect.org.uk and they informed me that soon (not sure how soon) they will remove the obsolete packages from their depository.

I got a list of all the 11.11 packages and permission to download them. If you are interested in older versions and sources, grab them. The list for 11.11 is attached. They just ask to download them serially and not in parallel.

edit: I guess the title should say "upcoming", but yea... #nonativespeaker

Already wokring on it  Nervous  For others who may be interested, you can get the attached files.txt with curl to work with the file locally. Wget invoked with defaults won't grab the file.

Once downloaded the file, say files.txt, I used the command:

$ cat files.txt | xargs -n 1 wget

See attached image.

If you know that the hp-ux archive centre ever had a v10 depository, I can try to ask them.

I already grabbed everything over a year ago and uploaded it to our site but probably shoulddownload everything

I'm the system admin of this site. Private security technician, licensed locksmith, hack of a c developer and vintage computer enthusiast. 

https://contrib.irixnet.org/raion/ -- contributions and pieces that I'm working on currently. 

https://codeberg.org/SolusRaion -- Code repos I control

Technical problems should be sent my way.

RE: Incoming removal of old packages from HP-UX archive
actually, this will do fine:

wget -c -i files.txt

No shell-fu required.
