Preparing for release of Debian 10.7 over the weekend and CentOS / Scientific Linux 6.x and EPEL for 6 now EOL

For those keeping score:

This weekend - 5th December 2020 - should see us release Debian 10.7 - an update to Debian stable (Buster) so I should be spending a day or so in the company of my friends and colleagues.

Red Hat 6.10 is now out of support unless you pay Extended Update subscriptions for individual Red Hat machines. This means that CentOS 6.* has now been removed from CentOS mirrors since these were dependent on Red Hat 6 sources.. Similarly, Scientific Linux have also removed their fork of 6.*. They are continuing to support a Scientific Linux 7 but suggest a move to CentOS 8 thereafter.

Separately, Fedora Linux have removed EPEL 6.* - definitely time to update to Red Hat/CentOS/Scientific Linux 7.* or greater for those affected.

 All the very best to all:
