Hi, this is not really my job, but I don't mind ruffling a few feathers if I need to.
RHEL/CentOS 7.5 is probably around the corner. This would be an excellent time to remove any EOL software you may have floating around on mirror.centos.org. Unless otherwise specified, any SIG content under 7.4 will be copied over to 7,5.
I'd imagine that for example openstack-newton could be dropped because it went EOL in 2017-10-25. Is there some other content that could be dropped?
If SIGs want to drop something at 7.5 release time, please let hughesjr know. Filing a bug would be one way to do that. Content can be removed either by directory name, or by individual package names.
I'll chime in for the Gluster repositories from the Storage SIG. The Ceph repositories are mostly maintained by others, and I dont know which are actively used.
These repositories still get regulary updates:
storage/x86_64/gluster-3.10 storage/x86_64/gluster-3.12 storage/x86_64/gluster-4.0
These versions are EOL and can be removed:
storage/x86_64/gluster-3.6 storage/x86_64/gluster-3.7 storage/x86_64/gluster-3.8 storage/x86_64/gluster-3.9 storage/x86_64/gluster-3.13
With the removal of the repositories, the matching centos-release-gluster36 packages should get dropped from CentOS Extras as well.
Thanks! Niels
