If anything is unclear, let me know and I'll try to explain better.
What precisely is "the main repository" in a physical sense
?
I mean the repository that is administered directly by the Fedora
project, as opposed to public mirrors of that repository. It is
housed, I believe, in a Red Hat datacenter.
I assume that specific repo is stored on a very fancy modern server,
along with other valuable software. If so, what kind of hardware ?
And I assume there is some kind of backup server at that location and also at other
locations.
I assume there are highly trusted people with both physical and remote access to the
server. How many ? Ten ?
I assume these specific servers are controlled by Fedora 31 ?
Alas, I do not know the answers to any of these questions. I suggest
you ask on fedora-devel-list, which is where discussions about the
development of Fedora itself take place. There is also far more
information than you really want to know about the Fedora
infrastructure here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Infrastructure
Is there a copy of Fedora 31 entombed, in a very deep underground
vault some where ?
I'm sure there are backups archived somewhere, but whether that
location is deep underground or not, I do not know.
I know that I need to do more research on my own, and I will someday.
Well, I'm glad I could help a little. I'm sorry you ran into the
limits of my knowledge so quickly. :-)
