[Fedora-infrastructure-list] A couple of nasty breakages on fedora.redhat.com

[Stephen C. Tweedie]

Hi,

Many URLs on fedora.redhat.com are currently broken.  Worse, they are
coming up as redirections to a CentOS http config.

First,
	http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-extras-i386
is failing:

        Not Found
        The requested URL /download/mirrors/fedora-extras-i386 was not
        found on this server.
        
        Apache/2.0.52 (CentOS) Server at fedora.redhat.com Port 80
        
and as this is the official mirrors list in the FC-5 fedora-release
yum.repos.d, this breaks all FC-5 yum updates for anybody with -extras
enabled.

And 
	http://www.fedora.redhat.com/
is returning something similar:

	Index of /
        Icon Name                    Last modified      Size  Description
        ________________________________________________________________
        Apache/2.0.52 (CentOS) Server at www.fedora.redhat.com Port 80

Question: any reason why CentOS is used instead of FC? Or would it be in the
same line as why OpenBSD website is using Solaris? ;-)

Yes, We didn't want to be upgrading the machine once a year.

CentOS is a distribution that is part of the Red Hat family, so it's still 
eating our own dog food.  Seth is kind enough to host/manage fp.o for us. 
If CentOS is the distro that he wants to use, ok.  It's 100% FOSS.  Many 
Fedora contributors also contribute to CentOS.  I'm fine with it all.

So would it be right to put some link in the admin site like who's hosting
what using what OS. You know just to let the new comers know. We already
have the donations link so I think a "thank-you-for-hosting" link is also
needed.

2cents.

Looks like it actually points to:

mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-extras-$relea...

Which would be:

http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-extras-5

for future releases make sure you capitalize the 'D' in download.

Yes, I mistyped s/i386/5/ in the url in the email, but at the time of
posting the correct url was broken in the same way, and yum updates were
failing.  It seems to be back up now, thanks.

Cheers,
 Stephen
