Of course people should be looking at www.fedoralegacy.org after trying download.fedoralegacy.org, but can a page a like still be put up? Also I'd like to know if there's a list of mirrors that will continue to be available for a while. If not I'd like to know how I can rsync all packages created by the Fedora Legacy Project without also rsyncing the packages that are still available at download.fedora.redhat.com. Most packages have legacy in their filename, but I believe some do not. Can anyone shed some more light on this? I'd like to have the Fedora Legacy archive available because sometimes I have start managing an old Fedora box and I like to be able to at least get the latest legacy fixes on them directly as planning a migration takes a little time.

Heya, Also I'd like to know if there's a list of mirrors that will continue to be available for a while. If not I'd like to know how I can rsync all packages created by the Fedora Legacy Project without also rsyncing the packages that are still available at download.fedora.redhat.com. Most packages have legacy in their filename, but I believe some do not. Can anyone shed some more light on this? I believe PlanetMirror still has a full mirror over here: http://public.www.planetmirror.com/pub/fedoralegacy I will ask the appropriate people to leave it up as long as possible.

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. I would like to make clear that the servers are only going offline because the project is ending, and keeping them online consumes real resources. This consumption is unnecessary if the project is shut down. -- Jesse Keating RHCE (geek.j2solutions.net) Fedora Legacy Team (www.fedoralegacy.org) GPG Public Key (geek.j2solutions.net/jkeating.j2solutions.pub) pgpP6wWeDpVfn.pgp Description: PGP signature -- fedora-legacy-list mailing list fedora-legacy-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legacy-list

In case any of you are not aware, the Fedora Legacy project is in the process of shutting down. Does have anyone a rscync line for me to get the whole FC3 tree to my local hdd?

So, assuming it hasn't been, I can volunteer to put something together, to save the multitudes the effort of investigation. I spent some time looking over the last couple months of mailing list archives, the internetnews piece, and Jesse's blog, but I'm not convinced I have the whole story. Some outstanding questions would be: * was there any attempt to recruit new leadership? Yes, leadership does no good without contributors. * ditto for sponsorship Nobody has responded to our calls for help. Nobody. * is there data on usage (I saw that 'interest was low' but I'm not sure if it means interest in volunteering or interest in terms of yum updates) Sure, there are a good number of consumers, people who will happily consume until the project ends, however they are not willing to actually DO any of the work necessary to keep the project alive. They would be better suited consuming updates from a product that is designed for their usage cases. * probably lots more I'm not thinking about now, and it's late so my reading comprehension is likely sub-par -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora pgpPrafdopjJ2.pgp Description: PGP signature -- fedora-legacy-list mailing list fedora-legacy-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legacy-list
