[mirror-admin] Mirror comes and goes on the mirrorlist

[Chris Adams]

I have noticed that my mirror comes and goes from the public mirrorlist
(losing my "preferred netblock" entry) seemingly at random.  It just
dropped off again this afternoon for no apparent reason.  It isn't
out-of-date, but mirrormanager shows zero up-to-date directories for any
category except EPEL.

I re-ran report_mirror and got:

Category Fedora Web directories updated: 14  added: 0  deleted 12
Category Fedora Linux directories updated: 374  added: 0  deleted 72
Category Fedora EPEL directories updated: 78  added: 0  deleted 27
Category Fedora Extras directories updated: 18  added: 0  deleted 30
Category Fedora Core directories updated: 69  added: 0  deleted 130
checked in successful

This is with no changes in actual data on my local disks.  After that,
mirrormanager shows all the directories as up-to-date.

Is there any way to tell what is going on?

Even odder: after running report_mirror and seeing all the directories
show up, including Fedora Linux:updates/7/SRPMS for example, I resynced
my updates tree, and I'm downloading a bunch of F7 updates (which I
guess are being pushed now, since I also got a bunch of the standard
"file has vanished" errors).  So, technically my updates tree was
slightly out-of-date, yet after a report_mirror run it showed
up-to-date.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
