Thank you very much, I wasn't aware of the new rollback machine. After reading that "The rollback machine is now defunct. We have no plans on bringing this back."[1], I didn't look further - that was stupid of me.
But, there is a different problem now: I can't get (any) files from said URL,
http://tardis.tiny-vps.com/aarm/. Probably I am doing it wrong, but whenever I try to download one of the files, e.g.
http://tardis.tiny-vps.com/aarm/repos/2 ... pkg.tar.xz , either nothing happens (the browser simply hangs), or (when using wget) an endless 39GB download of an HTML file starts (I was not able to complete this download yet, so I couldn't examine its contents further). Stupid question number 2: Is this normal? Will the 39 GB HTML file contain or, somehow, point me to the desired 2.8 MB Arch package?
I am familiar with the (non ARM) Arch rollback machine
https://archive.archlinux.org/, where it is possible to download a single package: i.e., if I retrieve e.g. the URL
https://archive.archlinux.org/repos/201 ... pkg.tar.xz , I do get the small 2.9 MB Arch package file (but, of course, for the wrong platform), without a 39 GB transfer starting.
Kind regards,
Christian

These 773M seem not to make sense, though: They start with the tags "<html>" and "<body>", then there are a lot of empty lines, and after that, the file contains only zero bytes so far (see the enclosed dump). This looks bad, doesn't it? Sorry to ask, but Is there an alternate place where I can get the older, working PHP packages from?
