Description of problem: We are attempting to provide a Fedora mirror backed by AFS; however, development/rawhide/armhfp/os/drpms is huge and exceeds the 64Ki "slot" limit on AFS directories (especially given the length of each file name is such that it occupies four or more slots). It would be better if this directory were split up by initial letter (i.e. os/drpms/{a,b,c}/...). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): all
This is now the case for download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/19/x86_64/drpms mean that existing mirrors using AFS (eg mirror.ox.ac.uk) are no longer able to update. Is there any chance this could be looked at? Also, what is the impact of drpms not being up to date? Will yum fall back to downloading complete pacakges? Thanks, Dominic.
I should add that we have come across this in the past and already excluded the drpms directories for older releases, so this isn't necessarily a brand new issue.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle. Changing version to '22'. More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Program_Management/HouseKeeping/Fedora22
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
