We're in the process of creating an archive for these older releases. However, there is no timeline for this work. You can follow it at https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/CPR-201

Mirroring an apt repository is pretty easy and there is rsync access via rsync://apt.puppetlabs.com.

More generally, I strongly recommend maintaining your own internal mirrors for any of your package dependencies, even if it's unofficial in your $HOME or something. That way you can do your upgrades whenever it suits you, rather than racing against repository deprecation time.

I'm actually refering to:

• Lucid leaving apt.puppetlabs.com and also:
  
• Fedora 20 leaving yum.puppetlabs.com
  

Both having the same (underlying) issue. I'm well aware how to mirror repositories. But the thing is want puppetlabs to see that there is interested so I will comment on the messages passing by here. I think it is all too easy to forget about the tickets that just have watchers, so I try to actively bug people with the things I care about :)

Also I couldn't agree more with Ehsan Foroughi who commented on the Lucid thread:

I feel that one thing puppet labs is failing to understand here is how puppet is the perfect technology to update those end-of-life systems and how harmful is this removal of old packages to your own technology that you have built here.

I think that pretty much captures the whole point of having a release archive.
