However, when I was checking for the updated clamav packages today, I
found that the directory doesn't exist:
lftp apt.sw.be:/pub/freshrpms/pub/dag/redhat/el5/en/x86_64> ls -l
drwxrwxr-x 4 ftp ftp 48 Aug 26 02:33 buildtools
drwxrwxr-x 4 ftp ftp 48 Aug 26 02:50 dag
lrwxrwxrwx 1 ftp ftp 3 Aug 26 02:33 rpmforge -> dag
drwxrwxr-x 4 ftp ftp 48 Aug 26 02:33 testing
lftp apt.sw.be:/pub/freshrpms/pub/dag/redhat/el5/en/x86_64>
Is this still the correct pathname to use for rsync?
Hi Camron,
There was a cleanup of the directory structure on mirrors. And as you can
see it's better to either use 'dag/' or 'rpmforge/' rather than
'RPMS.dag/'.
We also stopped providing native apt-repository support for newer RHEL
releases because apt-rpm supports createrepo repositories natively since 4
years or so... Regenerating the whole tree/repositories now takes less
than an hour, allowing us to push important fixes. (Although the main
mirror doesn't update that often)
I was surprised nobody complained the first days, so I think the
reorganization was useful :-)
