Weed out the inkscape zoo a bit

[thomas]

Right now we have 10 inkscape packages:

 1  inkscape-0.92.1-0
 2  inkscape-0.92.2-0
 3  inkscape-0.92.3-0
 4  inkscape-0.92.4-0
 5  inkscape-0.92.4-1
 6  inkscape-0.92.4-2
 7  inkscape-1.0-0
 8  inkscape-1.0-1
 9  inkscape-1.0beta0-0
10  inkscape-1.1.1-0

Registered via /usr/local/package and (probably) in use are:

 4  inkscape-0.92.4-0
 8  inkscape-1.0-1
10  inkscape-1.1.1-0

Dump/archive the rest, or create an 'attic' ?

Yes, we need to find a way to get rid of unused obsolete packages. We can't really monitor the usage, though, so that we have to guess, try and see. For that it would be nice if the package could be restored quickly. Moving them into some "/package/pkg/attic" would produce extra backup load. Maybe make "attic" a symlink to some /scratch/local on ex to avoid that?

Proposal after discussion:

Comment out the unwanted package in /project/config/src/mxpkg and append the date (s.b.).

After some time the package gets archived on tape. No attic, no stashing in /scratch/local .
