Hi Matt,
Thanks for your reply. I followed those instructions and now my mirror shows up in the
public mirror list.
I'm having some trouble with yum metadata checking. I had thought it was a problem
specific to EPEL mirrors, but maybe not. Do you have a suggestion for the best mailing
list to ask?
Here's the problem I'm having:
[root@node-r4-u2-p15-o23 ~]# yum install puppet
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror

Error: failure: repodata/2ddfb9d264be4015af4134d43bf5fa860407cea8-primary.sqlite.bz2 from
epel: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
I tried "yum clean all" and "yum makecache" and various other things.
But the problem persists. My EPEL repo rsync logs say everything is OK. And if I try to
install a package from an upstream EPEL mirror, that works fine. But these machines are
on a private network and only have access to my EPEL mirror. So something is wrong with
my mirror even though it's an exact copy of an upstream mirror?
Regards,
Alex

We would be pleased to have you as a public EPEL mirror. Thank you
for your
contribution to EPEL!
Please see
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/Mirroring for
guidance, and register your mirror in MirrorManager at
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mirrormanager. By doing so, you will
appear on the mirror list as soon as MM validates that your URLs are
valid and the content is present.
Your mirror should rsync from one of the Tier 1 mirrors listed at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/Mirroring/Tiering or from
another mirror close network-wise listed on
http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/. If you are on Internet2
or one of its high-speed educational or research network peers (NLR,
GEANET2, RedIRIS, etc.), you should pull pull from another I2 site if
possible.
Thanks again,
Matt
