We don't force everyone to carry everything. Most folks don't carry
Extras right now. Most folks carry only i386 and x86_64. A few only
carry updates. And *everyone* uses a different URL to get to their
content. Maintaining it manually is impossible anymore - hence the
need for some software.
See
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/MirrorManagement for
what I've got in mind, a little of which already works.
Thanks. The original mail was send by me long back before I subscribed
to this list and has been struck on the moderation queue for a while I
guess. I did find this page and added a note on source packages. It
would very useful if the individual mirrors had a note clearly marking
the type of access (http/ftp/rynsc), repositories (core/extras),
architecture, source and binary packages and other details so users can
quickly understand which mirror carry the content they want and how to
access them.
