Repodata compression varies?
by Harri Salminen
Hi,
I'm the admin of the nic.funet.fi fedora and epel mirrors. Some user
tweeted a while ago that our Epel mirror served something in .xml
instead of compressed .xml claiming that it broke yum. On a closer look
my mirror seems to be in sync with the master mirror. There could be
some delay since I currently source the mirror via mirrorservice.uk
since heanet.ie had once repodata issues. Anyway, at least now my mirror
is same as the master, on Friday it was one version back and I increased
checks from three to five times a day. Even then I tried yum against it
and had no problems. Maybe there was some transient problem with the
repodata being rsynced while it was changing or something.
Today I notice that there's one .bz2 file and another plain .xml file.
Other sites seem to have those too. Is that intentional or some side
effect of something and is there need to do something about it?
Cheers,
