Is there a list containing projects removing their source when
releasing a new version? Maybe we could start making such a list and
storing the latest two versions on our mirrors? That shouldn't take
much traffic and space, cause big projects always stores many versions
of their application (i mean, i haven't seen projects like KDE, xfce,
xorg, etc storing only the latest version - We have this problem only
at smaller projects).

We could have a list (perhaps stored in a database) this list could be
processed by a bash script wgeting the actual source (ONCE) and after
it checking if there's a new version (simply checking in moonbase)
and downloading again the actual version - Now we have two versions -
if our bash script (in a cronjob) sees that there's again a new version
available (someone wrote a TESTED update in moonbase for modul xyz) the
bash script would remove the OLDEST version and download again the
actual one.

or something like this?!
