[AlmaLinux Users] Re: Now that CentOS repos have died, is there a way

I've mirrored this issue over to https://github.com/AlmaLinux/almalinux-deploy/issues/115 to track a better solution/docs for this situation. On Mon, Jan 31, 2022 at 12:33 PM Jonathan Wright wrote:

CentOS 8 mirrors are still currently only. What errors are you seeing?

There are all offline for me. If you read the readme inside them, they tell you deprecated and the content is gone. Just when you thought you might have one more day!

What I had to do.... I had to hard switch away from using mirrorlist to using the explicit vault.centos.org/8.5.2111. Then I was able to update to 8.5 and use almalinux-deploy.sh.

Glad you found a solution. As far as I know they're supposed to stay online through Jan 31 but some mirror owners have probably started shutting theirs down.

I haven't thought too much about dead repos impacting upgrades to Alma but Andrew (added to this chain) probably has. Regardless we need to make sure we have a solution to continue allowing at least 8.4 and 8.5 upgrades to continue working, and probably 8.3 too. I'll try to do some testing of my own and see how all things fail with dead Cent repos.

Now that CentOS repos have died, is there a way to use almalinux-deploy.sh for 8.4 or maybe even less? _______________________________________________ AlmaLinux Users mailing list -- users@lists.almalinux.org mailto:users@lists.almalinux.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@lists.almalinux.org mailto:users-leave@lists.almalinux.org
