-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 My proposal is to run a master mirror server for FL. An ISP has offered rackspace and bandwidth for such a beast. The layout I envision is this: download.fedoralegacy.org/legacy/$releasever/SRPMS/ download.fedoralegacy.org/legacy/$releasever/SRPMS//base download.fedoralegacy.org/legacy/$releasever/SRPMS/updates download.fedoralegacy.org/legacy/$releasever/SRPMS/updates-testing download.fedoralegacy.org/legacy/$releasever/SRPMS/legacy-addons download.fedoralegacy.org/legacy/$releasever/$basearch/base download.fedoralegacy.org/legacy/$releasever/$basearch/updates download.fedoralegacy.org/legacy/$releasever/SRPMS/updates-testing download.fedoralegacy.org/legacy/$releasever/$basearch/legacy-addons where each subdir of $basearch has a directory RPMS, and a symlink SRPMS, which points to the correct ../../SRPMS/foo dir. Given the 7.3 release, i386 arch, and the "updates" dir we would have: download.fedoralegacy.org/legacy/7.3/i386/updates/RPMS download.fedoralegacy.org/legacy/7.3/i386/updates/SRPMS->../../SRPMS/updates base, updates, and legacy-addons would each be a metadata top-level, so a yum.conf file would look like: [base] name=Red Hat Linux $releasever base baseurl=http://download.fedoralegacy.org/legacy/$releasever/$basearch/base gpgcheck=1 [updates] name=Red Hat Linux $releasever updates baseurl=http://download.fedoralegacy.org/legacy/$releasever/$basearch/updates gpgcheck=1 #[updates-testing] #name=Red Hat Linux $releasever updates-testing #baseurl=http://download.fedoralegacy.org/legacy/$releasever/$basearch/updates-testing #gpgcheck=1 [legacy-addons] name=Fedora Legacy tools for Red Hat Linux $releasever baseurl=http://download.fedoralegacy.org/legacy/$releasever/$basearch/legacy-addons gpgcheck=1 Same would be for the apt stuff I would assume, although I'm not familiar with apt setup. I'm thinking of this from the unified metadata structure mindset, not apt or yum specific. Each tree would be rsyncable, suggested rsync point would be the $releasever directory. Sites like fedora.us that have a current setup already in place can choose to sync specific directories. All mirrors should provide fedoralegacy.org the correct yum/apt conf settings specific to their mirror.
