Hi,

Is there a specific reasons that old LVM2 tarballs are removed from ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/lvm2/

e.g. there are wide gaps in the series 133-143 144-147 147-152 152-154 154-162 162-165

Ciao, Marcus

Yep, some releases are 'developmental' check-points, others were found with some rather 'unwanted' bugs/features.

Anyway if you still really want to get those 'obsoleted'/'unsupportable'/'broken' (pick the word you like) files for studying purpose - see:

ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/lvm2/releases/

eventually use git with proper tag v2_02_XXX

But please never-ever try to do any distro release with those tarballs....
