Fedora Legacy shutting down

Submitted by ThomasChung on Sat, 2006-12-30 00:05. :: Fedora Legacy Update

In case any of you are not aware, the Fedora Legacy project is in the
process of shutting down.

The current model for supporting maintenance distributions is being
re-examined. In the meantime, we are unable to extend support to older
Fedora Core releases as we had planned. As of now, Fedora Core 4 and
earlier distributions are no longer being maintained.

Discussions last night on the #Fedora-Legacy channel have brought to
light the fact that certain Fedora Legacy properties (servers) may be
going away soon, such as the repository at
http://download.fedoralegacy.org and the build server. Legacy folks
need to let us know what they want to be done with the content in the
repository mirrors. If you don't speak up, we may find ourselves in a
place where 'yum update' commands will fail in the near future for the
Red Hat and Fedora Core releases that Legacy has supported in the past.

If there are any issues you need to discuss regarding these events, you
are welcome to discuss them on our IRC channel (channel #Fedora-Legacy
on the freenode IRC network http://freenode.net), or on the Fedora
Legacy discussion list:
https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legacy-list

Sincerely,
Jesse Keating
and
David Eisenstein
of the Legacy Team.

Update 2007-01-01
I would like to make clear that the servers are only going offline because the
project is ending, and keeping them online consumes real resources. This
consumption is unnecessary if the project is shut down.
