  • Re: When are distributions removed from main package mirrors?

    Hi,

    Probably someone with the good hat will reply at some point, but here's
    what I gathered.

    deb251@lewenberg.com wrote on 31/01/2023 at 15:02:36+0100:

    Every so often distributions are removed from the main Debian package mirrors. For example, on 20-Mar-2019 it was announced that non-LTS
    wheezy and jessie were being removed (https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2019/03/msg00006.html)

    Is there a Debian document or guideline that provides a schedule for
    when a distribution will be removed from the main mirrors

    Not that I know of.

    or are removals purely ad-hoc?

    It seems pretty connected with storage space or "ok, now this is really
    old".

    Cheers!
