When have had the following configuration in our mrepo configuration

rpmforge =

However, when I was checking for the updated clamav packages today, I
found that the directory doesn't exist:

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/'.

I was surprised nobody complained the first days, so I think the
reorganization was useful :-)

Yeah, I just discovered this the hard way myself a couple days ago, ironically for the same reason (trying to figure out why we weren't getting clamav updates).

Of course, mrepo had been kindly sending us email every day saying it was getting an error on rpmforge that nobody saw buried with all the rest of the cron mail from our hundreds of servers. :O (been an ongoing problem, we recently had a person start spending most of their time fixing cron jobs so we only get email on stuff that actually needs action, but that's another story for another list)

The URL we're using now is:

rpmforge = rsync://apt.sw.be/freshrpms/pub/dag/redhat/el$release/en/$arch/rpmforge/RPMS/
