mirrors that don't work

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



How does one report mirrors that are useless?  I've had a quick prowl
around the Fedora and Bugzilla sites, but I can't see anything relevant.

<http://planetmirror.com/> is offered as a mirror, but I've never seen
it work.  It always returns one of their HTML click-through pages for
any file request, making it utterly useless for YUM (you don't get the
repomd.xml but one of their pages, first, the same for any RPM you'd
like to try and get, and so on).

For instance, YUM tries to get:
<http://planetmirror.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/4/i386/os/repodata/repomd.xml>
But you get the click-through page (that you'll see if you browse to
that link), with a "you are about to download /some file/" message,
that'll start in a moment, rubbish.  And, ironically enough, it tries to
set a cookie called "saboteur.planetmirror.com".

I'd like to see this waste of time removed from the mirror list.
