report_mirror is in the mirrormanager-client package.

 

You run rsync, then you run report_mirror.  It’s critical that private mirrors run report_mirror after every rsync, because the crawler doesn’t try to crawl private mirrors at all.

 

It’s also critical that you list your preferred client netblocks in the mirrormanager database, otherwise you won’t receive any traffic at all (MM won’t know which clients to direct to you w/o you telling it).

 

Thanks,

Subject: Setting up a private mirror

 

Hello,

I am trying to setup an internal private epel mirror using the instructions found here:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/Mirroring

I am a little slow :(  and am having difficulties understanding what exactly I need to do, download and run.    I have registered on the fedora site and am trying to access the mirrormanage and am confused.   Where exactly do I find the report_mirror script and other utilities for actually mirroring?

Thanks.
