Hi,
How are other SIGs handling the removal of repositories from the mirrors? There are centos-release-<sig-project> packages around that have YUM .repo files pointing to the now non-existing repos. Some (all?) of these centos-release-<sig-project> packages are still available in CentOS Extras.
From #gluster: 21:25 < mallorn1> Anyone know why the 3.13 repository is gone from CentOS? http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/storage/x86_64/ 21:25 <@glusterbot> Title: Index of /centos/7/storage/x86_64CentOS Mirror (at mirror.centos.org) 21:26 < mallorn1> Installed the centos-release-gluster313.noarch package that CentOS has, but then you can't install gluster because the target doesn't exist.
At the moment I am tempted to create a centos-release-gluster-DONTUSE package that replaces centos-release-gluster313 and other unmaintained versions (suggestions for an alternative to DONTUSE welcome!).
I do not want to force users to upgrade to a newer Gluster version without manual intervention. Some versions are/may not be compatible between client/server, or require some additional steps depending on the features that are used.
Thanks, Niels

Maybe legacy or frozen. JML

A new centos-release-gluster-legacy package has now been created and will get requested for inclusion in CentOS Extras after a little more testing and announcing the Gluster 4.1 release.
Once this package is available, the old centos-release-gluster* RPMs for releases that are not maintained anymore become useless and can be removed from the repo. Removal requests will be sent through bugs.centos.org later.
Thanks to all who gave inputs for this, Niels

Will there be an appropriate centos-release-gluste[whatever] package that Obsoletes the old, obsolete packages? Because otherwise, they're just going to sit there on obsolete systems and are unlikely to be cleared up properly.

Yes, that is what the new centos-release-gluster-legacy is intended to do. You can review the .spec if you like (and send PRs!): https://github.com/CentOS-Storage-SIG/centos-release-gluster-legacy
