Hi Alan,

We are actually just about done rebuilding hosts on CentOS 7 to validate our new build infrastructure before installing a new OS and upgrading to a newer version of OpenStack. We have been rebuilding our Dev environment "as-is" on CentOS7 first, and we're probably a couple weeks from installing a newer OS. So if the repos can hang on for a bit longer that would help us quite a bit...

Thanks,

Hi Matthew,

Is is possible to keep them live for another few weeks? We're just about done moving off of CentOS 7.

Hi,

Today in the RDO meeting we have decided that the repos in https://trunk.rdoproject.org/centos7-master/ will be finally removed on March 15th. This timeline can not be extended.

https://lists.rdoproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.rdoproject.org/thread/WQUJUUM6IYSQ42X67E2IMPSSYI3WOJZA/

As mentioned before, if you need to use them later, my recommendation is to synchronize the repo locally.

Best regards,

Alfredo

I wonder how would keeping them live help you?

There are no updates and you should not be doing fresh installs, so I guess it could only help to not have yum errors on 404 for repo URLs?

If so, maybe we could delete all rpms then create empty repo metadata just to keep yum happy?

Cheers,

Alan
