Dear CentOS Community
Is totally clear there's no support to Centos 4 platform today, but I need to install some packages -ideally- from repositories, so I'll be glad if someone can provide me still working ones, (obviously non-official).
If isn't possible I'll move on CentOS5, but (initially) keeping current PHP and MySQL versions.
In both cases, I'll need working CentOS4 repos, hopefully the following ones:
- CentOS Base.repo - CentOS-Debuginfo.repo - CentOS-Media.repo - CentOS-Testing.repo - CentOS-Vault.repo - mirrors-rpmforge - mirrors-rpmforge-extras - mirrors-rpmforge-testing - openwebmail.repo - rpmforge.repo
Thanks in advance to anyone who can guide me
With Kind Regards,

Well, you can get individual packages here:
http://vault.centos.org/4.9/updates/i386/
I dunno if you can use that as a yum repo (I'm not saying I think it's not possible, I'm just saying I'm ignorant of that) but at least you could grab the RPMs from there.

Take a look at http://vault.centos.org/4.9/
The rpmforge repos have not changed as far as I know.

Hi Gustavo, Better do upgrade. If you can't see http://www.hrbac.cz/2012/04/sed-oneliner-to-change-centos-4-repos-to-vault-c... DH

Except don't change the gpgkey lines, as the keys are still in the original place and haven't moved to vault. (I discovered this just yesterday after finding and applying your excellent sed one-liner).

Tony, I can see the keys on vault. DH

Interesting, I can see them now, but they definitely weren't there on Friday, as yum install failed, and so did a wget. In addition, they weren't shown in the list when I browsed to http://vault.centos.org/
But they are there now, so perhaps they have only recently been moved.
Cheers Tony

They have been put there recently ... I am conflicted about making vault easy to use.
If we make it too easy to use vault, people will use it and the WILL get hacked.
If we make it too hard to use, they will be in even worse shape as they will have older than even the latest updates from vault, which will have more vulnerabilities than the latest vault version.
In the end, we have decided to put up a CentOS-Base.repo file and add the keys to vault. Here is a link to the CentOS-4 version of the CentOS-Base.repo file:
http://vault.centos.org/4.9/CentOS-Base.repo
NOTE: Please upgrade your CentOS machines to supported versions whenever possible ... otherwise it is only a matter of time before someone uses a critical vulnerability to break into your machine.

Johnny, speaking of vault, there is a minor issue I see with vault: +++++++++++++ rsync rsync://vault.centos.org/
msync.CentOS.org rsync service (centosk5) ---------------------------------------
This service is intended for the sole use of the CentOS worldwide mirror network to synchronize mirrors.
Unless you are running or intending to run a listed public CentOS mirror use a mirror listed at http://www.CentOS.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=13
If you intend to populate a mirror for public use please read the notes at :- http://www.CentOS.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=15
If you do use this service then it is implied that you are providing a mirror for public use and giving us authority to publicise such mirror. ++++++++++++++
The list referenced is for main CentOS content, not vault. Are there mirrors of vault, and, if not, is it OK to pull a private mirror of portions of vault (Source RPMs, in particular) with rsync, or will such cause the result mentioned in the last paragraph?

Rsync is setup on all the vault mirrors ... there are more than 1. (There are currently 4 and one master ... these are in both the US and EU)
Here is how to rsync them if you want: rsync vault.centos.org::centos-full-store/
The name is geoip enabled, so you should get machines close to you in the US and EU ... and others (outside the US and EU) will get a US or EU vault mirror.

This is good news to get the data in a sane way for some special cases. (Yes, I can still see RHEL3 installations, so
We have been migrating a single RHEL3 box for several years. Shoot me now please.
RHEL4 is not the only version that needs to migrate off.)

I still have a 'not internet-connected' CentOS 2.1 server for one particular application. Hrmph, I still have a Red Hat Linux 5.2 box in production for a really old application that the client 'just can't live without' (but they are just about finished with an 8 year long migration over to something more modern.... the problem is that the 'modern' target keeps moving.....). The people with the RHL5 box were considering upgrading to CentOS 2.1 for that application (it's a libc5-based binary-only app with no vendor support (vendor's upgrade doesn't support features heavily used by client's app!)).
I suggested something completely different, and they've been on-again/off-again migrating to something ever newer.... looks like they are about 90% of the way there, using a PHP app framework that keeps getting upgrades....
None of these are internet connected; an RHL5.2 box on the live internet... hmm, might be old enough that current metasploit and script kiddie frameworks may not work..... but that's probably a pipe dream....
