CentOS 8 EOL and OBS
Hi, with CentOS 8 being EOL, and the binary repositories now gone: * will building packages for CentOS 8 keep working in the public OBS? * will building packages for CentOS 8 keep working in private instances for OBS? Right now, both are still working. I guess this is because of cached packages, that will expire at some point and then it starts failing? Or is the public OBS possibly building all of the CentOS packages and that gets used instead of the official repositories, and it will keep on working for some years? If that assumption is true, is that also where the private OBS instances download packages from? Thanks! Best, Oliver

Yes, this will happen. We can configure any public mirror of these repositories though.

You can not really depend on caches, they can go away. However, as said before, if someone provides a mirror, which we can also verify (eg. original signed rpm repository), it can remain. Questions is of course what it is helping. You shouldn't run it anymore, when there are no official updates anymore... -- Adrian Schroeter <adrian@suse.de> Build Infrastructure Project Manager SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany (HRB 36809, AG Nürnberg) Geschäftsführer: Ivo Totev

Where does one configure an alternative mirror (in a private OBS instance)? I've tried to find this on my own, but couldn't find it so far. Where I've looked: * documentation * project config: https://build.opensuse.org/projects/CentOS:CentOS-8/prjconf * grep for centos.org in /srv/obs (found a 404 in the scheduler log though, trying to download a package) * grep in various other obs related directories * grep in open-build-service.git Thanks!
