announce EOL for EPEL-4?
 

Would it be feasible to send an announcement to the appropriate
list(s) that EPEL-4 is going to be officially EOL in a month? I see
some discussion on this list, but nothing to epel-announce.

Yeah, might be a good idea.

I can do so later today... something like:

RHEL 4 reaches End Of Life on 2012-02-29. Accordingly, EPEL4 will also
reach End Of Life then. This means:

- All existing EPEL4 builds will be moved to archives.
- MirrorManager will be adjusted to point existing requests to the
archive url.
- References to EPEL4 will be removed from the wiki and other
documentation.
- The build system will no longer do any builds for EPEL4 branches.
- The updates system will no longer push any updates for EPEL4.

Please consider upgrading to a supported release before this deadline.

General members don't have access to ELS and I believe CentOS and
SciLinux are ending their support of EL4 meaning that the versions
most contributors have will be EOL.

Right, this is why I brought it up. It would be useful to explicitly
announce, "We are not supporting EPEL-4, including security updates,
during the ELS cycle".

Good call. I will add:

EPEL will not be providing any updates or fixes for those using the ELS
support from their upstream vendor.

?

Yeah, it makes it very clear if you add that note.

Thanks,
