I plan on having a mirror of Legacy if the deal with the hosting company i have been dealing with works out. download.fedoralegacy.org/pub/fedoralegacy/$releasever/SRPMS/ download.fedoralegacy.org/lpub/fedoraegacy/$releasever/SRPMS//base download.fedoralegacy.org/pub/fedoralegacy/$releasever/SRPMS/updates download.fedoralegacy.org/pub/fedoralegacy/$releasever/SRPMS/updates-testing download.fedoralegacy.org/pub/fedoralegacy/$releasever/SRPMS/legacy-addons download.fedoralegacy.org/pub/fedoralegacy/$releasever/RPMS/$basearch/base download.fedoralegacy.org/pub/fedoralegacy/$releasever/RPMS/$basearch/updates download.fedoralegacy.org/pub/fedoralegacy/$releasever/SRPMS/updates-testing download.fedoralegacy.org/pub/fedoralegacy/$releasever/RPMS/$basearch/legacy-addons > where each subdir of $basearch has a directory RPMS, and a symlink SRPMS, > which points to the correct ../../SRPMS/foo dir.
