Due to a configuration error, the content in the Fedora 7 updates directory got removed. If you have any automated processes that would sync Fedora 7 updates, it is advised that you turn them off for the time being. We are re-populating the content from the build system but this will take some time (hours). I will respond to this when it finishes (if I'm still awake) and it is safe to sync updates once more. No new updates will be processed until this is fixed.

Just to clarify. We aren't rebuilding things, we're just rsyncing the content from the buildserver to the mirror masters. This is what is taking time. The content will be the same once restored.

All the data has been restored and a successful update push has occurred. It is safe once again to sync updates.

Of all the IT-related jobs I've held, nothing was more eventful (and remarkable) than systems and network administration. Anyone who's had to babysit Cisco routers or Oracle databases should be able to attest to that. Staying up at the NOC till the wee hours of the morning trying to put out a fire, etc.
Hats off to the folks at RedHat keeping the servers going and pagers and cellphones close-at-hand, ;). --
