#4149: Need a way to point EC2 instances to specific mirrors

To get Fedora working well on Amazon's EC2 cloud computing service ![1]
the Cloud SIG is working on creating yum mirrors inside Amazon's network.
Doing so provides a number of benefits:
* Faster updates for users
* People with hundreds of Fedora instances don't overload other public
mirrors
* No data transfer costs for users or those who fund the EC2 mirrors
(traffic within a given cloud region is free)
Unfortunately, data transfers are only free if they stay within a given
region. This, combined with the fact that EC2's IP addresses freely roam
between regions, makes normal IP-based direction via !MirrorManager
impossible. We therefore need another way of directing clients toward the
mirrors that reside within their own regions.
Our list of proposed solutions to this are posted in the "Client Access"
portion of my overall proposal for EC2 mirror infrastructure ![2]. Could
you folks (a) offer any feedback, or (b) choose which solution would be
best? I apologize if this is more of a FESCo question; I can take it to
them if that would be better.

#5589: Unblock bamf from all branches

I unretired bamf a while back, but now that an upstream FTBFS bug has been
fixed, noticed that it's still blocked from the build systems.
Could it be unblocked from F19, F20 and any other tags from which it's
currently blocked? Thanks.

#5521: snapshot no longer available for master branch on git repo

Hi,
In my nightly build automation, I used to be able to pull down a snapshot
like this:
wget -O 389-ds-base-1.3.0.3.tar.gz
'http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=389/ds.git;a=snapshot;h=master;sf=tgz'
recently, that stopped working. Can this ability be restored?
Thanks,

#5427: Clean obsoleted packages from repositories

See
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2012-December/175557.html
Packages which are obsoleted by other packages effectively can't be
installed. (They can be added by hand, but will be replaced on yum update
in the default configuration.)
If they're obsolete, we shouldn't ship them, so they should be cleaned
from the F18 (and rawhide?) trees.

#5620: Package retired: eclipse-wtp-jst-web

Hi rel-eng,
I've just retired eclipse-wtp-jst-web from rawhide and F19. This package
existed because of circular dependencies which have now been resolved
upstream. All of the functionality that it had, is now being provided by
eclipse-wtp-jeetools, where it should be.
This ticket exists to fulfill step 8, which asks for a ticket to be
created against the koji component, asking the package to be blocked from
the appropriate collections in which it is retired.
Thanks a lot,
Gerard.
