Re: mirrors.fedoraproject.org giving incorrect URLS for fedora 9/10 repos

I am attempting to restore some software on a few machines that are currently installed with Fedora 10, and have discovered a problem with the mirror list. When going to http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist\?repo=fedora-10\&arch=x86_64 to retrieve the list of mirrors to download packages from, all of the URLs provided are incorrect, having replaced "fedora" in the results with "a" - this has shown to be the case for both the fedora-10 repo, as well as the updates-released-source-f10 repo. To determine the extent of the problem, I checked with both the x86_64 and i386 versions of the repo mirror list from fedora 7 through 12, and found that the problem exists only with Fedora 9 and 10, but for all repositories related to it. In each case, the repo list comes back looking like this: http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=updates-released-source-... produces: # repo = updates-released-source-f10 arch = source Using Internet2 country = US country = global http://archive.kernel.org/fedora-archive/a/linux/updates/10/SRPMS/ http://archive.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/a/linux/updates/10/SRPMS/ http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/fedora-archive/a/linux/updates/10/SRPMS/ http://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/archive.fedoraproject.org/a/l... http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-10&arch=x86_64 produces: # repo = fedora-10 arch = x86_64 Using Internet2 country = US country = global http://archive.kernel.org/fedora-archive/a/linux/releases/10/Everything/x... http://archive.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/a/linux/releases/10/Everythi... http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/fedora-archive/a/linux/releases/10/Everything/x8... http://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/archive.fedoraproject.org/a/l... http://archive.nl.eu.kernel.org/fedora-archive/a/linux/releases/10/Everyt... In each case, the list is considerably shorter than those provided for releases 7, 8, 11, and 12, and as you can see from the URLs, the /fedora/ which should be before linux/releases/... has been replaced with /a/, which renders yum unable to locate the repository contents. While I can fix this on my local machine by manually inputting repository URLs, it's not a "proper" fix, and I felt that you should be made aware of it, as it appears to be a recent bug - I was able to update another of these machines (which has fedora 10 on it) a few days ago without problems.
