Ircam mirror shutting down

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

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

   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!

      Dave

New proposed top level FAQ for the defunct FedoraLegacy project

After the IRC conversations I had today with "F13", here is a proposed 
FAQ for the top level http://fedoralegacy.org/ site.

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.

Why all fedora core 6.90 are wrong?

There could be individual circumstances but I "upgraded" two heavily
hacked RHL-7.x machines to CentOS-4, which is from a software point
of view really the same as RHEL-4, and this was a "non-event".
True, it required some coaxing to start the whole process and a
careful cleanup afterwards (both 'yum-utils' and 'rpm' are helpful
in that) but other than that, which means an extra work, this was
not a problem.

If you did not dump everything into one big partition in the first
place then installing over system parts, while keeping local data,
and restoring a desired configuration afterwards could be simpler
and quicker.  Selectively restoring from backups also can be an
option.  Make no mistake - a machine in use for a while is likely
"more customized" then it looks at the first glance so getting to an
equivalent configuration on a new installation is usually quite a
bit more work than you think.  Still with a bit of planning you may
end up ahead.

Thinking in terms what can be, apparently, "upgraded" to what
is possibly not that great idea.

No its more like

RHL-7.2 =~ RHEL-2.1
RHL-9    =~ RHEL-3
FCL-3 =~ RHEL-4

If you are looking at one could attempt an upgrade from to then it would be that

RHL-7.0, RHL-7.1, RHL-7.2  might be upgraded to RHEL-2.1
RHL-7.3, RHL-8, RHL-9 might be upgraded to RHEL-3
FCL-1, FCL-2, FCL-3 might be upgraded to RHEL-4
FCL-4, FCL-5, FCL-6 might be upgraded to RHEL-5

none of these are 'clean' upgrades, and can lead to crashed machines
around 20% of the time due to things outside the scope of this email.

The steps to follow it are the following:
0) Look up on google better how-tos than this :)
1) Backup current data to media that can be recovered from after an
install (USB diskdrive works great)
2) Make a file listing of your RPM database like

rpm -qa  --qf='%{NAME} %{EPOCH}:%{VERSION}:%{RELEASE}\n' > filename

3)  Do an upgrade
One needs to force the RHEL/Centos installer to do an upgrade of outside its

4) Look for files that were left over and why
5) Fix broken configs because versions have changed greatly.

[my guess is that FCL-9 might be RHEL-6 :)]

No, but you can say RHEL4 was based on FC3. RHEL5 will be based on  
FC6. But you can't really say they are the same thing at all.
