EPEL 6 is End Of Life (EOL) on November 2020. EPEL 6 will be moved to archives in December 2020.
Plan ahead now.
Same holds true for CentOS Linux 6 in general.
A couple of questions regarding this process.
- Will mirrorlist be updated to point to the vault (centos) or
archive (EPEL)? I notice that epel-5 seems to work in mirrorlist, but not the centos repos.
No idea if CentOS does that. I think when they end of life things, they END OF LIFE THINGS.
- Will centos-release or epel-release be updated before landing in
the vault / archive?
epel-release will probably not be. The mirrormanager will be updated to point people to archives.
