until, say, a month after CentOS 8.2 is GA? Again, seems like too much work.
Or, perhaps we could archive things before a release.
I guess my reply got trimmed off and/or ignored.
There is the EPEL archives.
This is fairly recent, but we did a snapshot of 8.1 a bit before 8.2 came out.
We plan on doing this for each minor release (7 and 8).
Fedora Archives are not on all the mirrors, so it might be a little
slower, depending on where you get it from, but at least it's there.
