	What is the suggested location of the mirrored data? For Fedora,
I have
	/pub/linux/fedora/linux/{releases,updates,core,...}. Should
I put EPEL into
	/pub/linux/fedora/epel
?

Also, should I mirror directly from download.fedora.redhat.com,
or are there any (preferably European) tier-1 mirrors which carry EPEL?
I mirror fedora from sunsite.mff.cuni.cz, and Jakub apparently does
not carry EPEL.

	Anyway, EPEL mirror added at the following URLs, will be ready
later today:

    * ftp://ftp.fi.muni.cz/pub/linux/fedora/epel
    * rsync://ftp.linux.cz/pub/linux/fedora/epel
    * ftp://ftp.linux.cz/pub/linux/fedora/epel
    * http://ftp.fi.muni.cz/pub/linux/fedora/epel
    * http://ftp.linux.cz/pub/linux/fedora/epel
    * rsync://ftp.fi.muni.cz/pub/linux/fedora/epel

(BTW, I think mirrormanager should use a better sorting algorithm
for the above data - maybe "protocol first, then hostname, and then
directory")
