rpms not in repodata

[Matthew Kent]

Wanted to double check that this is expected:

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/SRPMS/repodata/primary.xml.gz

only lists the 2 most recent nagios-plugins releases while on disk we
have

nagios-plugins-1.4.11-2.el5.src.rpm
nagios-plugins-1.4.13-4.el5.src.rpm
nagios-plugins-1.4.6-3.el5.src.rpm

Goes against what I've typically seen of repodata reflecting the
contents of all rpms in the folder. In fact we have a script written on
this assumption, is it incorrect?

Thanks for all the hard work, EPEL is very handy :)

Looks somewhat as if the rsync script to Red Hat possibly doesn't
delete the old packages.

I no longer know how to log in to buildsys.fedoraproject.org to check the
primary repository where RepoPrune is run. After the incident, hosts have
been moved around, and I couldn't find docs in the Wiki...

fyi: in epel/5/{srpms,x86_64,i386} I'm seeing 919 old packages which
anyone rsync'ing is pulling down, probably needlessly.

Yeah, I see the same thing here.

Ticket filed with infrastructure to try and fix it:
