This is the first release we're doing since moving the master mirrors from Red 
Hat I/T control to our control.

With that, we dropped all the historical mirrors that were using 
download.fedora.redhat.com and were in its rsync ACLs, forcing people to use 
the tiering.

Right now, we have only a few mirrors reporting having the content (per the 
mirrorlists):
http://mirror.pnl.gov/fedora/linux/releases/15/Fedora/
http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/releases/15/Fedora/
ftp://mirror.cs.princeton.edu/pub/mirrors/fedora/linux/releases/15/Fedora/
http://mirror.seas.harvard.edu/fedora/linux/releases/15/Fedora/
http://mirror.web-ster.com/fedora/releases/15/Fedora/
http://mirror.hiwaay.net/pub/fedora/linux/releases/15/Fedora/
http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/15/Fedora/

Should we consider:
a) force mirrors to change to tiering if they want the bits before Day 0.
b) opening up the restrictions on dl.fp.o so the historical mirrors don't have 
to make changes (at a cost of bandwidth from dl*)
c) bitflipping really early (e.g. ~now)
d) stop using bitflipping entirely

?

Thoughts?

OK, well I have to admit I dont read all the posts to this list due to lack of 
time, and providing a mirror is a public service I pay for out of my pocket 
(with donated bandwidth) to give back. But the bottom line is I saw the Fedora 
15 is ready to sync and found as per above my mirror is locked out. None of the 
"Tier1/2" have 15 as a directory available.  
Can you please tell me in easy terms how I am supposed to sync if my mirror 
server is locked out ? I have been running as a Redhat mirror since Redhat 7 
and have not had this before.

Mirror - ftp.wicks.co.nz  ftp/http/rsync Locantion _ new Zealand

Thanks
