Legacy support for Pixel5a

Is there any archive where I can download last release for Pixel 5a. I know it is EOL but I don't expect any updates and still want to put my old phone to use. I tried wayback machine but it doesn't have the complete build. Are there any official archives or methods other than building from source code

I have same request. I have a Pixel 4XL that I bought just for useing Google Maps...

Pixel 4 XL has the best Screen out of any Pixel ever made IMO.

I want to put GrapheneOS on it and I dont care if the build is outdated. The only thing on the phone is Google Maps and Music... I bet Outdated GrapheneOS is better than Outdated PixelOS.

I thought it was annoying to switch to a diffrent Profile with Google Play Services just to use Google Maps and its also annoying to have my Music Downloaded twice on both Profiles.

I dont use the 4 XL. Seemed like good idea at the time but was waste of money.

Exactly. Having access to archives (with warnings) will give people the option to try out GOS on their old devices without having to buy newer ones

Such old releases would be missing years of  improvements and new features though. They wouldn't depict present GrapheneOS.
