I've got a box with F18 on it. It has not been connected to the internet for two years but I need to use it now for a while, after which I'll install a newer version. The first thing I did after connecting it was to run updates. I got about a hundred or so messages which seem to boil down to missing repos, or perhaps moved or renamed. here's a sample:
Trying other mirror. webkitgtk-1.10.2-3.fc18.x86_64 FAILED ftp://mirror.cs.princeton.edu/pub/mirrors/fedora/linux/updates/18/x86_64/webkitgtk-1.10.2-3.fc18.x86_64.rpm: [Errno 14] curl#9 - "Server denied you to change to the given directory" Trying other mirror. webkitgtk-1.10.2-3.fc18.x86_64 FAILED http://mirror.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/mirror/fedora/linux/updates/18/x86_64/webkitg...: [Errno 14] curl#22 - "The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found" Trying other mirror. webkitgtk-1.10.2-3.fc18.x86_64 FAILED http://mirror.pnl.gov/fedora/linux/updates/18/x86_64/webkitgtk-1.10.2-3.fc18...: [Errno 14] curl#22 - "The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found" Trying other mirror. webkitgtk-1.10.2-3.fc18.x86_64 FAILED http://mirror.utexas.edu/fedora/linux/updates/18/x86_64/webkitgtk-1.10.2-3.f...: [Errno 14] curl#22 - "The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found"
So I'd like to do all available updates, then work for a while then update. Does anyone see how I can fix the missing repos issue? if that's what's actually going on.
TIA,
Dave

The url of the repos change AFTER the release is no longer supported. A bunch of crap, I know - but I had the same issue with another release.

This is the latest versions of everything that was in the repositories when the release went EOL. If you were up to date on F18 when you disconnected from the web, there will be no updates from the archive. There has been at least one *major* security issue since F18 (openssl had a bad hole; was that heartbeat or was heartbeat something else?).

There are archives:
F18 release:
http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/releases/18/
(that should be all on one line, just in case it word-wraps in this message)
F18 updates:
http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/updates/18/
(that should be all on one line, just in case it word-wraps in this message)
For the record, here's a link to the Fedora EOL list, which also contains the date the release went officially EOL:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/End_of_life
According to that list, F18 went EOL on 14 January 2014 (almost three years ago). NO UPDATES have been made since the release went EOL. These are snapshots of the repos as of that date. If you need to, say, update the OpenSSL stuff to get past the heartbleed bug, you'll need to probably build it yourself from a source RPM from a later release or a tarball.
Good luck and remember that Fedora releases go EOL about a month after the following release plus one is released (e.g. F18 went EOL 30 days after F20 was released). If you need something longer lived, use CentOS or something like (gasp!) Ubuntu LTS (long term support). Even THOSE go EOL, eventually, so keep up!

Well, Dave, FWIW, the repos for F18 are at
for 64 bit: http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/releases/18/Every...
or for 32 bit: http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/releases/18/Every...

Fedora versions go end of life about every year (well, two releases later). F18 went end of life when F20 was released about three years ago. I really doubt there updates available on any current mirrors. You might be able to get updates from one of the archival mirror sites but it's so out of date, you'll be hard pressed to find any.
Lots of luck with that one. Remember that CentOS is longer-lived than Fedora, so if you think you're going to need something that'll live longer than two years, go CentOS. After all, Fedora eventually becomes CentOS. That's what we are--the experimental lab rats for Red Hat.

You might give a look at PCLinuxOS--it's a continuous upgrade or what they call a rolling release. It's not good _forever_ since one of these days they will switch to KDE5. OTOH, maybe the other desktops they support won't change. I'm not happy about the possibility of starting all over with KDE5, but Linux is always churning, no matter what distro you use.

well the thing is I've used RH since about 4.1 so I know it and basically even with all the churn every release is faster and better in significant ways. But I use Mint on a laptop and boy was the changeover from 17 to 18 ever easy, just point and click and lotsa useful new stuff.

They have already switch to KDE5 :) AND they are switching to systemd :( That's why I found no good reason to switch to it. Also, not as many packages available for it from other repos.
