How and when is old-releases.ubuntu.com updated?
- by muru
The old-releases.ubuntu.com mirror hosts the repositories for EOL Ubuntu releases. The main page currently lists up to 11.10 (or 12.04.3 if you count point upgrades), but the dists page lists up to 13.04. Why the discrepancy? When will the main page be updated? When will the newest EOL release (13.10) be shifted here?
I'd like documentation backing up answers, please. Priority of documentation:
Statements by Mark Shuttleworth (on his blog or other public statements)
Pages from the Official Ubuntu documentation
Ubuntu mailing list discussions, Launchpad bug reports (or questions) or blueprints, etc.
IRC discussion logs for official Ubuntu channels
Random gossip on the street
Community Wiki.
