The Webtatic EL5 repository was set to use https protocol in July last year, however since RHEL and CentOS 5 are unable to verify the certificate, there wasn't much security gain from this.

Because of this, the repository is switching back to http protocol. The https protocol will be supported still for the previous webtatic5-release version till 18th August 2016. After then, the repository will only be available on http, but still accessible to SSL clients that support Server Name Indication (SNI). RHEL/CentOS 5 don't support SNI, however.

Additionally, RHEL 5 is going to be at it's End of Production Phase on 31st March 2017, CentOS 5 will become end of life around this point.

Because of this, the Webtatic EL5 repository will become end of life (EOL) at that point, and it's packages will be archived.

In summary:

* As of now, new installs and upgrades of the webtatic5-release for EL5 will use http protocol for package installs (as it did July last year)
* On 18th August 2016, https protocol for EL5 will no longer be supported by RHEL/CentOS 5 yum package manager
* On 31st March 2017, the EL5 repository will become end of life (EOL), and be archived.

As mentioned in Webtatic-5 repository EOL schedule, the only remaining package not in the other Webtatic EL5 repository, PHP 5.3, support was to be made End of Life (EOL) on Webtatic when PHP.net EOL's PHP 5.4. PHP 5.4 support on php.net is ending today, and as so, the Webtatic-5 repository is becoming EOL too.

Not to be confused with the Webtatic EL5 repository, which will continue to be supported for several years still, the Webtatic-5 repository was the original first repository this site hosted.

It served packages in a format that was easy to install, but bad to pin (it has conflicting package names with RHEL/CentOS base packages), and so the Webtatic EL5 repository was created to change that for new packages.

Both Webtatic-5 and Webtatic EL5 host the mysql51 and mysql55 packages, and so with Webtatic-5 becoming EOL, it will be redirected to the Webtatic EL5 repository in order for these packages to continue to receive updates.
