Broken links for the (macos) Swift 2.2.x toolchains – are these still supported?

i recently tried to download the Swift 2.x toolchains (for macos) that are listed as the earliest available ones on both swift.org and via swiftly and found that the download links appear to be broken. are these toolchains actually still available? i realize there is probably a weak argument for hosting them indefinitely, but it is cool to be able to use them to understand how the language has evolved.

specifically the broken links i found are:

  1. 2.2.0 (macos): https://download.swift.org/swift-2.2-release/xcode/swift-2.2-RELEASE/swift-2.2-RELEASE-osx.pkg
  2. 2.2.1 (macos): https://download.swift.org/swift-2.2.1-release/xcode/swift-2.2.1-RELEASE/swift-2.2.1-RELEASE-osx.pkg

They are obviously not supported anymore, but as for whether they should still be available? Maybe @mishal_shah would know.

We did not ship swift.org macOS toolchain for Release 2.2 and 2.2.1.

Linux (Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 15.10)

Swift 2.2 includes support for Swift on Linux. The Linux port is still relatively new and in this release does not include the Swift Core Libraries (which will appear in Swift 3). The port does, however, include LLDB and the REPL.

Official binaries for Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 15.10 are available for download.

Apple (Xcode)

For development on Apple’s platforms, Swift 2.2 ships as part of Xcode 7.3.

This is a bug on swift.org website, we will need to fix with new install page.
