Re: [rdo-list] Archived EOL distribution not available?

Hi all,
I have been using OpenSatck Icehouse on CentOS 6 for research purpose,
but recently found the rdo-release-* files in EOL archive are all removed
from the repository in fedorapeople
(i.e., repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/openstack/EOL/openstack-
/epel-6/).
Actually, I am in critical trouble for this
because deployment of that version on CentOS 6 is essential
for evaluation of my system..
I am not sure those files are deleted by accident
or intentionally to prevent people to use deprecated versions.
But, if latter is the case, I think it is not fit to the purpose of an
archive as well..
It looks there are also some other people who are confused for this:
https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/87680/did-the-package-rdo-relea...
Please consider to bring back those rdo-release-* files in the archive..
Or is there any other mirror repo where I can get old versions of OpenStack
on CentOS?
Regards,
Hyun-wook Baek
FYI, they were deleted on purpose and here's why:
When we EOL a version, we move repositories content to the EOL
directory to indicate their status [1]
Since the repository files installed by the rdo-release packages
points to the old location, not only they are useless
but they would give end-users the false idea that they still can
deploy those versions by just installing those packages.
Though I do not recommend to use EOL repositories You could also write
your own yum repository files pointing to the new locations.
Regards,
H.
