Can you say exactly when in early April the tree will be moved? I have a number of installations that need to continue running CentOS 5 so I'd like to do a final update before the tree moves.
may I suggest building your own mirror well before then, update it with rsync or lftp weekly (or even daily), from http://mirrors.xmission.com/ce ntos/5 (pick your favorite mirror to make the mirror from), and replace your CentOS-xxx.repo files with ones that point to your private repo
I use a command like this to mirror everything and incrementally update, you could change the last centos to centos/5 if you want to just fetch and update that...
lftp -c 'open ftp://mirrors.sonic.net && lcd /mirrors && mirror --continue --verbose=1 -x SRPMS centos'
(yes, you do need to find a ftp mirror, i had issues mirroring from an http server).
This is especially important if you use anything from EPEL as EPEL5 will be removed when RHEL goes EOL.
Thanks for the advice. I'll try and set up a mirror asap, but I'd still like to know when the mirrors will be removed if anyone has that information.
Before we remove it from mirror, it will all be moved here:
It will be there forever .. just like all the CentOS-3 and CentOS-4 trees are as well.
