Folks,
I hate cross posting but since all this discussion is on all the mailing
lists and I'm not...here I go :-)
I'm mainly interested in Fedora Legacy. I'd rather work here that beta
testing the latest and greatest from my friends across the street. I've
agreed to work with / maintain OpenAFS and LPRng and I'll probably pick
up others.
I'm the Linux guy at NC State University in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Red Hat is right across the street. I maintain a linux distribution
based off of what was RHL and we are quite dependant on it...which
should explain my interest in Legacy. Also, I really need at good 18
months of errata for each release I support.
Other resources:
ftp.linux.ncsu.edu will no doubt mirror Fedora. I
mean, what else am I supposed to put there? :-) I am also working to
get another machine set up that can mirror other stuff and/or be a
public build server. All I need is a SCA -> 68 pin SCSI adaptor.

It has always been in the plans, but along with Fedora Legacy it should
not be opened unless I see a strong commitment from a dozen+ developers
that will continue to work on security errata after RH's EOL. I
personally don't have the time nor interest in working on old software,
however I will support the build system and distribution of such a
project if the developers exist.
Jesse Keating has indicated he wishes OEM companies and Universities to
unite and commit resources and clue to this effort, so I have asked him
to become the interim organizer for Legacy. Please help him find more
people who would be committed. It is important that there be enough
people to keep this self sustaining because I feel it would be
irresponsible to publish this repository if security updates are not
maintained.
For now have them organize here on fedora-devel(a)fedora.us. If traffic
becomes large enough we can ask RH and create a new list perhaps at
fedora-legacy(a)redhat.com or something.
