It's certainly still on

      http://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/
      
but there will be issues due to outdated signatures and such so it's
better to remove it.
Cheers,

I do prefer to keep these old distros, as they are useful for virt-v2v
testing and various other forms of regression testing.  Should we
instead modify the URLs in sources.list so they default to the archive
that Guido mentioned?

Note that changes to the fragment files will be lost with the next
update of the images.  In particular ...

I pushed this, but with the proviso that editing the index-fragment
files doesn't make sense because they are regenerated as soon as I ran
the script to rebuild the Debian images (for RHBZ#1484957).

The new images have a single partition and working serial console, but
I didn't test them very much beyond that.

Thanks,

Rich.
