Given that there are now two new subdirectories (epel-6 and epel-7) that seem to contain most/all of the other files, it would seem like somebody is trying to add epel-7 support and perhaps is not quite done, or missed a step. We would appreciate some way of getting in touch with whoever is implementing these changes so we can understand how best to preserve our ability to reprovision our new virtual machines (frozen at icehouse). When a version reaches EOL repositories are moved to the EOL directory to indicate their status. 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. Use of EOL repositories is not recomended but if fully required, you could write your own yum repository files pointing to the new location. Created attachment 1159724 [details]
RPM with updated URL for the repository
This is a rebuilt version of the rdo-release-icehouse-4.noarch.rpm file.
The URL path for the rdo-release.repo file has been updated to the new /EOL/ URL Path.
We have rebuilt the old rpm (rdo-release-icehouse-4.noarch.rpm) with the new EOL URL path (rdo-release-icehouse-4-EOL.noarch.rpm). Can you please update the EOL repo and place this RPM at the following location: https://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/openstack/EOL/openstack-icehouse/rdo-release-icehouse-4-EOL.noarch.rpm We understand that use of these packages is not recommended, however they are far from useless as there is still a need to access and install these packages for VMs that are being hosted on openstack-icehouse. The use of EOL repositories can be reasonable in few exceptional cases. For those exceptions user can create their own .repo file or even create a rpm release repo and manage it in a user-managed yum repository. It has been decided in RDO project to not create release RPMs pointing to EOL locations for versions once they reach their end of life. EOL folder README has been updated to make it clear that its usage is not encouraged: https://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/openstack/EOL/00README.txt Providing release rpm would go against that message. |
