Hi.
I am getting strange data from the mirrorlist plugin while trying to
update my rawhide machine.
The line for the development repo is
mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=rawhide&a...
The (current) result from this query is
# repo = rawhide country = global arch = i386
http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/$ARCH...
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/fedora/linux/core/devel...
Nonetheless, the repodata I get is quite outdated, it lists dbus-0.62 and
firefox 1.5.0.3, for example.
Since no amount of debugging will make yum tell which servers it is
retrieving data from I can not tell where the bad data actually comes
from.
1. is there a proxy running somewhere which might be returning bogus
results?
2. put each of those urls into your repo file as the one and sole
baseurl - then you can tell which is which.
3. The mirrorlist cgi does the following:
- take repomd.xml from the canonical mirror at
redhat.com - get
timestamp from inside file of the primary.xml.gz entry
- downlowd repomd.xml from each of the mirrors and compare this value
- only mirrors where the value is the same are kept
