https://mirror.cedia.org.ec/epel/7/SRPMS/ - 404

[Dattatec Mirrors]

Hello,

When I go to https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/SRPMS/ I sometimes 
get redirected to https://mirror.cedia.org.ec/epel/7/SRPMS/, which is giving 
me a 404 right now.

Could this mirror be excluded from the redirects for SRPMs?
Or its admins contacted to rsync SRPMs also?

Thanks,

[Adrian Reber]

This is a bit difficult. This is basically a MirrorManager bug:

https://github.com/fedora-infra/mirrormanager2/issues/225

As our main interface is metalink we have not looked at a fix for this,
yet.

The problem is, that MirrorManager should handle mirrors which decide to
only mirror certain parts of the repository. This works as long as it is
about directories. If it is about directories with no files as in this
case it fails. So if you would access a URL like

https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/SRPMS/Packages/g

it will not redirect you to mirror.cedia.org.ec.

Currently no way to do that and, in theory, if there are files in a
directory, it automatically works.

That could be done, but as we try to support partial mirrors we do not
require it.

We should just fix mentioned bug.

No problem then, it's just a small annoyance anyway.

Thanks!
