end of Fedora Legacy mirror at Iowa State

[Dave Edsall - JETSETer]

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!

Hi Dave. Thanks for the upfront notification. I've been using Fedora Legacy
since FC1, and it's sad to see that it's thrown in the towel.

I'm still using FC2 from day to day on one machine, and think that it's one of
the better Fedora releases, though no longer supported. Can you give me a URL
for the mirror, preferably for apt, but yum will do.

I'll try and download as many of the FC2 packages that I can, depending on
harddrive space.

Thanks again for letting us know in advance that the server is going down
soon. That has to be better than a Debian multimedia repo, that when Etch
went stable, just trashed all the packages on the Sarge repo, with no upfront
notification at all.

All the best.

Nigel.

Could you also remove ATrpms' mirror?
