Sorry if this post appears multiple time. Google Groups told me to try
again...
Anyway I wanted to ask whether archives are maintained of voidlinux
repositories. I would really like to have a way for others to recreate an
environment from some time ago. The easiest way would be if I could simply
provide a list of packages and version numbers, which they could then
install from the archive.
Failing that I would have to recover those packages still in my cache.
Though that wouldn't help if we wanted to install more packages without
forcing an update.
Or we can rebuild using the github archive. Could be very time consuming.
In any case an archive would be good for debugging purposes, working around
temporarily broken packages, and for the historical record.
But is there an archive? I can't see any reference to one.
Thansk!

There is no archive as far as I know. This would take up a huge amount of
space, and it's a rolling distro. XBPS will keep packages downloaded to
upgrade your computer in /var/cache/xbps though, unless you tell it to
clean out that cache. This can be useful if you need to downgrade a
package with xdowngrade.
