Where have all the Fedora Extras yum/apt repos gone?

[nosp]

Did I miss a (few) mails?  A few up-until-now-reliable of mirrors are
now missing the Fedora Linux/Extras yum & apt repos (stable unstable
testing):

Compare
http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/fedora/fedora/1/i386/
http://ftp.dulug.duke.edu/pub/fedora/fedora/fedora/1/i386/
ftp://ftp.linux.ncsu.edu/pub/fedora/fedora/fedora/1/i386/

to
ftp://ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/fedora/fedora/1/i386/
http://download.fedora.us/fedora/fedora/1/i386/

Is there any reorg going on, or are the directories still valid and the
first set of mirrors not carrying Extras?

They all seem to be there just drop the url back to the first fedora and 
look. They seem to have changed slightly.

Thanks but the files really are gone; you're talking about the Fedora
Core files, I'm asking about the Fedora Extras files.  They're still
missing; I'll ask on the fedora.us mailing lists as well...

Hi, I'm just curious if you've found resolution here? I'm looking for
the extras too. I'm hoping to find a snort and tripwire pkg in there.
I remember hearing talk of an 'extras' repo on the test list, but have
not found any related documentation or comments other than this one.

Fedora Extras is still on download.fedora.us and some (but not all) of
the mirrors listed on www.fedora.us.  fedora.us folks have confirmed
that some of the mirrors that used to carry Fedora Linux (the
predecessor to Fedora Extras, /not/ Fedora Core) seem to have stopped.

If you want snort, help QA the RPM package on
https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=782 !  Get
http://www.starken.com/snort/snort-2.0.2-0.fdr.6.src.rpm and rpm -ivh
snort*src.rpm && rpmbuild -ba /usr/source/redhat/SPECS/snort.spec !

So yes, my question's been answered but I hope ther is a better answer
for your question -- about where snort and tripwire packages for Fedora
can be found -- in the future.

For snort (since version 2.0.1) I just download the tarball (from
http://www.snort.org) and use:

rpmbuild -ta snort-x.x.x.tar.gz

...this builds the binary RPM, no problem.  I have not yet had time to
do as much testing as I need to on the resulting RPMs, but I have not
had any difficulties using them on RHL9, RHEL3 or RC1.
