Hi
In order to lower resource stress when building packages, I plan to deprecate support for distributions that have reached End Of Life on September 4th 2016.
This includes the following distro versions:
- Debian: o 6.0 "squeeze"
- Fedora o 19 o 20 o 21 o 22
- OpenSuSE o 12.2 o 12.3 o 13.1
- SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop (not Server!) o 11.2 o 11.3
After deprecation, no new builds will be published and existing builds will be deleted from the repositories to discourage users from installing unmaintained software.

I have now fully finished the deprecation of mentioned versions, lest OpenSuSE 13.1 as per one request and because OBS is relatively resource-friendly, compared to the build systems we utilize for Debian and Fedora builds.
The old packages have been moved to a new location under http://archives.packages.x2go.org - users who still need to access these packages should change the URLs accordingly.
New rsync modules have been added for archived Debian, Fedora and EPEL packages.
Additionally, I have installed new rsync modules for SUSE Linux Enterprise, OpenSUSE and their respective archive counterparts, because we did not have any of them yet.
Wiki pages related to packaging have been mostly rewritten with new information and where appropriate links changed to wiki:repositories:XXX to not include redundant data and condense information. New pages have been added to the wiki for archived repositories and cross-linked to their non-archived counterpart pages.
