apt sources.list for old versions of Ubuntu
| 02-May-2009 | Posted by Sonia Hamilton under Ubuntu |
Discontinued versions of Ubuntu are mirrored under http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/, which can be used to setup apt’s sources.list.
For example, for Gutsy (7.10), sources.list would look like:
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main restricted deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-updates main restricted deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy universe deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-updates universe deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy multiverse deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-updates multiverse deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-security main restricted deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-security universe deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-security multiverse
Thanks to Marty, JohnF, and others on the SLUG list.

Worked like a charm. Thanks for posting it.
thanks.
back to work on 7.10
No worries. Sometimes old things work better than the new stuff eg vlc, amarok, …
Thanks a lot, I had to look hard for this info… No info were provided on the ubuntu official web site…
Is it known whether this works for Ubuntu 9.04 as well?
It should work – the repos for Jaunty (Ubuntu 9.04) are there.
Works like a charm for my warty (4.10) release.
Yipeekayee :D
Warty – life on the bleeding edge – I envy you :-)

You’re welcome, Ubuntu doesn’t make this information easy to find.
