becoming a Fedora Mirror

[Jürgen Meixner]

Dear Mirror-Admin,

we would like to become a private mirror of Fedora, as our organization runs 
several machines on Fedora and installing/updating seems way faster through a 
private mirror than through normal download.

Could you please approve and explain, which public mirror we can pull from?

Thank you and best regards

Mailinglist subscription approved and as you seem to be based in Germany
I can of course recommend my mirror (ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de) for you
to sync from or probably any other Germany based mirror. The following
is the answer every private mirror request gets:

Please use a tier 1/2 mirror[1] close to you; create an account in the
MirrorManager[2]; register your mirror as a private mirror in the mirror
manager; enter your local netblocks in mirror manager; run
report_mirror[3] and as soon as you are listed in the database as up to
date yum will be redirected to your local/private mirror.

All this information can be found in more details in the wiki at:

If there are any more question do not hesitate to ask.

Thanks for supporting Fedora.

Adrian
