This is a continuation of Windows Packages download broken (#1758) · Issues · graphviz / graphviz · GitLab .
ellson:
We can talk about this some more if you need, but in my mind the Packages/ tree was to be solely maintained by the deploy process from .gitlab-ci.yml. If we mix in manual operations then I think there is a danger of losing control.
I saw the Archive/ upload as a one time event.
I was hoping to leave www2.graphviz.org as basically a hands off automated
@Ellson I wasn’t aware of this. I found the binaries also in https://www2.graphviz.org/Archive/graphviz/stable/windows/ . Maybe I should remove the copies I uploaded to Index of /Packages/stable/windows/10/msbuild/Release/Win32 then and instead refer to the this place?
OTOH, the Archive is very disorganized and perhaps not something we want to expose to users? In that case we would need another place for manual uploads. Not that I expect this to happen often, but we e.g. have a request for the 2.38 source code packages in Where to download graphviz 2.38.0? (#1350) · Issues · graphviz / graphviz · GitLab

BTW @Ellson It’s no longer possible to access the top level Packages directory through https://www2.graphviz.org/Packages/ which was working before. I get:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /Packages/ on this server.
https://www2.graphviz.org/Packages/stable/ and https://www2.graphviz.org/Packages/development/ are still accessible.
Somehow Packages/ had lost read permission.
I don’t mind if you manually tidy Archive/ a little, but please don’t delete any files

I did:
[magjac@www2 Archive]$ pwd
/var/www/html/Archive
magjac@www2 Archive]$ sudo mv graphviz/* .
[magjac@www2 Archive]$ sudo rmdir graphviz/
The Windows installer for version 2.38 is now available at: https://www2.graphviz.org/Archive/stable/windows/graphviz-2.38.msi
