Archive cleanup: symbol files

Post by Moonchild » 2025-08-04, 10:18

We will be cleaning up old symbol archives from the archive server in a week.
These debug symbols are only useful to troubleshoot crashes in specific release version binaries of Pale Moon (in combination with the source code) and they take up a lot of disk space (about 100 MB/archive).
If for some reason you need a copy of old symbols, make sure to grab them before the week is out. No copies will be retained anywhere otherwise.
