ibiblio.org quirky repository cleaned out

I warned about this on the forum, about 5 months ago:

https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=11326

It hosted some old pups, especially Wary and Racy, and Quirky Linux. The repository is mentioned in various posts on the forum, such as this in 2021:

Here is the quirky repo:

https://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/

The site is now home for "Quirky Void", also known as "Quantum Vis", or just "QV". The ibiblio site will have releases and PET packages.

The woof build system for QV is on github:

A technical detail about mirroring from ibiblio.org, including puppylinux, easyos, quirky and fatdog; the server name has changed. Only in the last month. It used to be:

rsync distro.ibiblio.org::quirky

Now requires:

rsync rsync.ibiblio.org::quirky

I see that NLUUG still has the old stuff:

https://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/quirky/

I sent an email to my contact at NLUUG informing about the change for easyos, and that got fixed, but quirky hasn't yet -- will have to send an email about that also. Will do that soon; grab anything off there if you want.
