Thank you so much Alfredo! Yes, absolutely. Once we reach EL8/Victoria and complete some storage upgrades we will be able to upgrade to a more recent release much more quickly.

Thank-you!

Thanks Alfredo and Takashi,

Hmmm... Is it possible to get that repo restored? We are running through some rebuilds now to verify the process and environment on CentOS7, and will be re-installing all of our nodes on EL8 and upgrading from Ussuri to Victoria in January.

I've restored it, you should have available the repos that you mentioned in your previous mail. As mentioned before, those correspond to an unsupported intermediate status between train and ussuri which is not recommended, but i hope it's useful for you.

BTW, Victoria is also being EOLed, I'd recommend you to go to the latest release Bobcat or at least one which is in Maintained status in https://releases.openstack.org/
 

CentOS 7 hasn't (quite) gone EOL yet, and it would be helpful to continue the rebuilds with the same packages that we've been using - we're about 3/4 of the way done now.


It's not CentOS 7 which is EOLed but OpenStack Train.

Best regards,

Alfredo

AFAIK the packages for old releases such as Train, Ussuri and Victoria were
removed from RDO trunk a few months ago[1] and you have to download
the packages from these releases from the CentOS mirror instead[2].
[2] http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8-stream/cloud/x86_64/openstack-ussuri/


You are correct, some old releases have been removed recently as they are now EOL for multiple projects.
 
Note that RDO didn't release Ussuri for CentOS7 and it supports CentOS8
(and CentOS 8 Stream) as the base OS and the last release supported with
CentOS7
were Train. The link you posted are the master repos which contain the
latest contents
built from upstream master. IIRC these repos contained some intermediate
contents
between train and ussuri. I guess these repos didn't get update after
RDO completed
transitions to CentOS8 and contain incomplete contents for Ussuri release.


Yes, Train was the latest release supported on CentOS 7, Ussuri was never branched for centos7, in master repo there may be some content post-train but it was stopped before Ussuri was released.

I've checked that, there is a copy of CentOS 7 Train still in the server (by mistake, tbh) available in :


My recommendation is that you clone locally the latest available content ASAP in case it's useful for you:


Best regards,

Alfredo
