Every repo. Our build roots are public and static repo locations are
updated hourly with their contents. It's all public, anybody in the
would can access it.
As someone that takes care of a 3rd party repo I can mostly agree to
this statement from Jesse. But there is one important thing that is not
really foreseeable for the public: Pushes to the stable or testing
updates repos.
They just happen suddenly out of the blue and I as 3rd party repo
manager have no real chance to do push at exactly the same time. All a
3rd party repo manager can do is to watch fedora-announce-list closely
and push packages that have dependencies on specific Fedora packages
(xine-lib-extras-nonfree, qmmp-plugins-freeworld, all kmods, some
others) once he sees that Fedora did the push.
That is one of the big problems. Another one: Dependency problems due to
mirror lags afaik confuse yum (at least on F8 and F9). Details can be
