end of Fedora Legacy mirror at Iowa State

   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://do
wnload.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!


      Dave

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?
