Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 149801
Infrastructure setup for Extras; permanent extras RawHide URL, 'distribution' component
Last modified: 2014-03-16 22:52:33 EDT
Two Items: 1. With the split of RawHide SRPMS, a stable permanent URL to mirror 'extras' from is needed. Without one, the exterior mirror system administrators will be required to follow the 'every six months' shifting of the then current 'FE' URL to SRPMS. Already, I note that iBiblio does not have the ./extras/ tree and so all the former extras RawHide SRPMS are unavailable to users of that mirror. It is obviously in the interest of the Fedora folks, and the Red Hat bandwidth conservators to have as many current mirrors as possible to encourage mirror use. Please add a permanent mirror target URL of: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/development/SRPMS/ a hardlink of the volitile location is doable, and has the effect of permitting one change one place to avoid dozens of changes on lots of places in the mirror system. 2. Please add a 'distribution' component to 'extras' to provide a a target Bugzilla filing point for matters related to that variant. Properly this bug should be there. but the Bugzilla Component does not exist.
Not sure what you mean by #1; an extras/development dir already exists, although it isn't populated. Will work on #2.
