Some folks may continue running EL6 based systems, but we need to make sure it is obvious that we're not providing any security updates. Moving the repos off the mirror network will provide a hint to folks doing a simple 'yum update' that something is not the way it once was.

Whoa!
What will happen if I run a "yum update" on a CO6 machine? We have it run automatically at reboot and I need to know what will happen so I can see if the rest of the scripts we run at startup will be OK.
Yes we are updating them, but it's hard to do when you can't go onsite due to COVID.
You will get every system running through messages like this

until it finds some mirror which will work (that one mirror seems to be updating for everyone in the world so is very slow).
or it will do the following:
[root@linode01 ~]# yum clean all Loaded plugins: etckeeper, fastestmirror Cleaning repos: base cr epel epel-testing extras updates Cleaning up Everything Cleaning up list of fastest mirrors [root@linode01 ~]# yum update Loaded plugins: etckeeper, fastestmirror Setting up Update Process Determining fastest mirrors YumRepo Error: All mirror URLs are not using ftp, http[s] or file. Eg. Invalid release/repo/arch combination/ removing mirrorlist with no valid mirrors: /var/cache/yum/i386/6/base/mirrorlist.txt Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: base [root@linode01 ~]# echo $? 1 [root@linode01 ~]# yum list all Loaded plugins: etckeeper, fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile YumRepo Error: All mirror URLs are not using ftp, http[s] or file. Eg. Invalid release/repo/arch combination/ removing mirrorlist with no valid mirrors: /var/cache/yum/i386/6/base/mirrorlist.txt Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: base
so basically the system can not find anything/do anything until a working mirror is there.
I'm not really very happy with this throwing an error.
I get it. People need to upgrade. But breaking things that are part of automated processes is a crappy way to get the message across.
As I mentioned, upgrades will take some time still, and now I have more work to deal with our unupgraded systems, so now it will take even longer to upgrade.
Thanks a bunch.
(Sorry for the sarcasm, but this is not a nice way to deal with the situation).
Welcome to the club. Now wait for the free membership to the " You had _years_ advanced notice." to come, it's on its way.
I hear ya brother.
wolfy "I still have a few hundred remote desktops to upgrade ( and could not do that due to remote access restrictions collateral to Covid moving around restrictions )"
We are not alone. That's no solace though.
Good luck.
