Ircam mirror shutting down

Arnaud Gomes-do-Vale — 2007-09-26T09:00:40

Hi, The Fedora legacy mirror at mirrors.ircam.fr will be removed in a few hours/days because of space constraints. Please remove it from the mirror list (if it is still maintained?). Thanks!

New packages

Martin Marques — 2007-06-11T23:11:00

Are new packages still getting in FL? I saw some updates appear last week for FC3 (xorg and mozilla I think).

end of Fedora Legacy mirror at Iowa State

Dave Edsall - JETSETer — 2007-06-11T14:28:21

Max Spevack announced last month that Fedora Core 5's end of life would be June 29th. That gives us a good milestone for removing our Fedora Legacy mirror. Traffic was high for two months after the announcement of Fedora Legacy's demise but has dwindled since April. So, beginning July 1, 2007, Iowa State will no longer offer a mirror of Fedora Legacy. Grab what you would like between now and then. Would whoever is responsible for http://download.fedoralegacy.org/download/f edoralegacy-mirrors.php please remove us from that page at your leisure? Many thanks to everyone who worked on that project!

New proposed top level FAQ for the defunct FedoraLegacy project

David A. Ranch — 2007-02-08T22:26:37

After the IRC conversations I had today with "F13", here is a proposed FAQ for the top level http://fedoralegacy.org/ site. --David Fedora Core Legacy Shutdown FAQ: 02/08/07 -------------------------------- Q. Why is the FedoraLegacy project shutting down? A. A combination of reasons: - A lack of community members that actually contributed to patches, testing, deployment, etc. - A lack of funding - A decreasing amount of interest -- Q. I just heard that FedoraLegacy is closing down. Why didn't you give any head notice? A. This was heavily discussed on the "fedora-legacy-list" list. It's always been recommended that Legacy users be subscribed to this list to stay informed. -- Q. Will FedoraLegacy take on support for FC6? A. No, the entire Legacy project is over. Upgrade to a newer version of FedoraCore if you want security and feature patches or upgrade to a different distro such as Redhat Enterprise Linux, Centos, or a different distro all together. -- Q. My FedoraLegacy servers are now complaining about "No mirrors" available. Why? A. The master repository was deemed stale for <=FC4 patches as of December 12, 2006. On February 7th, 2007, the master repository was completely shut down due to financial reasons. Other Legacy repository mirrors should be still up but their content is now stale. -- Q. Will I be able to continue downloading the Legacy RPMs for my older distributions? A. Legacy repository mirrors should be up for some period to come but they will probably start individually removing that content as it's now stale. Download it now while you still can. You can find a list of mirrors here: http://fedoralegacy.org/download/fedoralegacy-mirrors.php -- Q. So what do I do now? I need a Redhat-style distribution that lasts longer than Redhat's official 12-18 month lifespan. A. Use the official Redhat Enterprise Linux or Centos. -- Q. How long will the FedoraLegacy website stay up? A. ??? -- ================ Issues : 1. the toplevel fedoralegacy.org site says things are being "Re-evaluated". This should be updated to say something like "The Fedora Legacy project has ended. The master legacy download repository has shut down and no new RPMs will be to any mirrors." 2. For the FAQ entry above, how long will the website stay up? When the site does go down, can we post this FAQ to a newgroup or something like that so it will be sucked into the search engines of the world so people can find it? 3. Maybe it would be best to strip out all content off the site and only have the shutdown documentation posted. -- -- fedora-legacy-list mailing list fedora-legacy-list< at >redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legacy-list

Mirror support (Re: Fedora Legacy shutting down)

Dave Edsall - JETSETer — 2007-02-08T17:38:40

David Eisenstein wrote: [...] continue We're planning to keep them up for at least six months to a year so long as we are getting significant downloads from people. If the numbers start to drop, we'll probably take it down sooner than that. Current stats: RPMS downloaded in November: 5987 RPMS downloaded in December: 10620 RPMS downloaded in January: 3006 RPMs downloaded since Feb 1: 19799 So, at least some people still find us useful. :+D We don't think, from a security point of view, that it is responsible to encourage people to use older systems by leaving them up longer than a year. But that gives people time to find a suitable migration path.

Fresh Install of RH 7.3

Matthew T. O'Connor — 2007-01-13T22:16:51

Hello, for various reasons I'm trying to install Redhat 7.3, but I can't figure out how to do it. There aren't any bootable ISO images for that distribution, and I lost my CDs a long time ago. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, Matt -- fedora-legacy-list mailing list fedora-legacy-list< at >redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legacy-list

2007 DST update for RH7.2

Paul Rupe — 2007-01-05T16:11:19

We have some RedHat 7.2 machines that we are stuck with for the time being. Of concern is the new daylight savings time rules that take effect this year. I did some searching on this list and found an update for 7.3 . I understand that no one is making updates for 7.2 anymore, so I was wondering if I can adapt the one for 7.3. The timezone rules are part of the glibc packages. Do I really need the new version of glibc, or can I simply copy the /usr/share/zoneinfo files from the updated 7.3 packages onto 7.2? In other words, do the new zoneinfo files require the new glibc to work properly?

where? security updates for FC4

Florin Andrei — 2007-01-03T22:55:04

Now that the Legacy project is shutting down, the biggest problem becomes the security updates. I have an FC4 server that I plan to keep running until CentOS 5 comes out, but I also have to apply security patches to this machine meanwhile. What would be the best source of security updates for FC4 short-term? SRPMs from FC5 or FC6, recompiled? But then there might be some dependency issues that might get ugly. SRPMs from RHEL or CentOS? Which version would be closest to FC4? Again, I expect some dependency issues here. Of course, one can always download the upstream tarballs and generate packages, but somehow I suspect this to be the most difficult method. Any other suggestions?

Fedora Legacy shutting down

David Eisenstein — 2006-12-30T05:23:47

In case any of you are not aware, the Fedora Legacy project is in the process of shutting down. The current model for supporting maintenance distributions is being re-examined. In the meantime, we are unable to extend support to older Fedora Core releases as we had planned. As of now, Fedora Core 4 and earlier distributions are no longer being maintained. Discussions last night on the #Fedora-Legacy channel have brought to light the fact that certain Fedora Legacy properties (servers) may be going away soon, such as the repository at and the build server. Legacy folks need to let us know what they want to be done with the content in the repository mirrors. If you don't speak up, we may find ourselves in a place where 'yum update' commands will fail in the near future for the Red Hat and Fedora Core releases that Legacy has supported in the past. If there are any issues you need to discuss regarding these events, you are welcome to discuss them on our IRC channel (channel #Fedora-Legacy on the freenode IRC network ), or on the Fedora Legacy discussion list: Sincerely, Jesse Keating and David Eisenstein of the Legacy Team. -- fedora-legacy-list mailing list fedora-legacy-list< at >redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legacy-list

Archived Kernels

HAWKER, Dan — 2006-12-08T16:04:32

Hi All, Am needing to setup a FC4 box with an older 2.6.16 kernel. However, these have been deleted/archived from the usual fedora repo and mirrors (although old FC5 kernels are still available). Is there anywhere I can access these older kernels??? I've been having a good old search on the web, but so far, to no avail. TIA Dan -- Dan Hawker Linux System Administrator Astrium
