There's been a very big mirrormanager update, if you're experiencing other troubles please report them here or on https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/ and I'll have a look at them asap.
So after reading about report_mirror still being expected to work, I wonder if the information I had previously received about it no longer being useful has been superseded.
quick-fedora-mirror used to have code that would duplicate the functionality of report_mirror, but it was disabled because I was told that there was no point in running and in fact it was harmful to do so due to additional server load, and that I should simply rely on the crawler to keep things updated.
Are things different now? Should I restore that code and start using it? It simply built a payload in the expected format and call curl.
My understanding was that it was not useful for public mirrors, but was still useful for private mirrors, since private mirrors cannot be crawled to see if they are up to date or not.
However, I am unsure what exactly we do with that information.
I'll defer to one of the folks working on the code here...
