You're aware that it's got about a month's life left in
it, and then
it's life support is cut off? After the new year, it'll only be
Fedora 9 and 10 still getting updates. You'll be left with systems
that have no bug and security fixes.
Considering that I've backed up from F10, the idea would be to be able
to install/revert to a fully updated F8 for some time to come. These
machines are not public servers and are well behind a firewall system.
Since so far F8 is stable for that kind of use, bug fixes are not a
worry. Security fixes, if deemed important, could be made by removing
the package and compile it back from upstream.
So, is there a proven recipe to locally mirror the F8 update packages ?
Thanks.
