I am using Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal) version and it is at EOL.

The repositories for older releases that are not supported get moved to an archive server. These repositories are available at http://old-releases.ubuntu.com.

Now I have to set up this repository on my local server so that we can fetch packages from it instead of archive server. For setting repository I am using Apt-mirror

Currently my server is Ubuntu 12.04 system and I have to set up repository for Ubuntu 12.10.

So I have following questions

  • Is it possible to achieve above functionality?
  • If I set up repository did it will affect on server?

  1. Yes. Your mirror.list will look something like this:

    deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric main restricted universe multiverse
    deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-updates main restricted universe multiverse
    deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-security main restricted universe multiverse
    deb-i386 http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric main restricted universe multiverse
    deb-i386 http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-updates main restricted universe multiverse
    deb-i386 http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-security main restricted universe multiverse
    
  2. Affect how? It will take a up a good bit of space (~100GB), and a good bit of bandwidth.
