[rhelv6-list] EPEL History

[Hearn, Stan J.]

I just realized that the EPEL repository purges older versions of rpms periodically.

For instance, the version of a package that I installed in July 2017 is no longer in the repository.  Without that version of the package being in the repository, I can't back out a newer version install.

I'd like to update several EPEL RPMs but if I don't know if I can back them out it is risky.

What are my options?  I could create a reposync and this would solve it from today onward, but how can I access older versions?  Has someone already created a RHEL repo that keeps every package forever?

Regards,
Stan
