Do we keep *those* around? I guess the answer will be different > for each mirror. Some will keep those repos for longer, some shorter. We keep them forever, yes. Mirrors can do what they want, of course, but many carry everything that we do on the main mirror. (This is less work than figuring out what to carry, and it's not that much disk space in this day and age.) Older releases stay in the main mirrors for some period of time even after EOL, and then eventually are moved off to https://archive.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/, which as you see goes back to Fedora Core 1. Now, one thing we don't keep are all of the updates. I believe these are actually retained internally in koji (although I think because we can, not necessarily by policy), but they vanish from the repositories -- both mirror network and archive -- so reproducing the exact build environment may be difficult / annoying. -- Matthew Miller -- Fedora Project -- <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
