Repository Moved thanks to Apache and 301 Redirections

Since the creation of my personal Mandriva repository (10 months ago) the number of my RPMs did not cease to increase. Currently all RPMs and SRPMs from 2006.0 and 2007.0 take 383MiB of space.

So I decided to move the http://kev.coolcavemen.com/static/repository folder to http://kevin.deldycke.free.fr/repository, which is a 10GiB (yes, ten gibibyte, this is not a typo) free web space offered by Free, my ISP.

To do this smoothly, I’ve just set up a generic 301 redirection thanks to Apache. This is the only line I added to my root .htaccess file to enable this:

Redirect permanent /static/repository http://kevin.deldycke.free.fr/repository

This move will normally be completely silent for you. So please, let me now if something bad happend while you play with my repository.
