[ros-dev] MSVC and GCC Windows Buildslaves are back - old ISOs are not

[Nuno Brito]

Hi Colin,

On our side at triplecheck we are increasing the infrastructure, exactly 
with the intention of filling it up with software. Would happily make 
available 1Tb of long term storage or more as needed to save the old 
ISOs at no cost.

The only nuisance is that we can't give direct access to the storage for 
security reasons (it is cut off from the Internet). Still, it is 
possible to download through a request mechanism that puts the needed 
files on a public server for download.

We are negotiating the infrastructure growth, around the 1st of November 
should be possible to confirm that we can host these files.

Nuno
