[mirror-admin] rsync targets for Fedora content please

[Brian Long (brilong)]

Matt et al,

I received emails regarding the rsync URLs even though I have my mirror marked as private.  There is no way for MirrorManager infrastructure to reach my internal server via rsync or http.  :)

Could you alter future nag emails to look for the "private" flag and disregard the lack of rsync URLs?

Also, part of the email said the following:
"Host rtp-linux.cisco.com Category Fedora Linux has no up-to-date
 directories. Check that your Category URL points to
 pub/fedora/linux. * Consult the crawler logs and check your
 report_mirror.conf."

I fixed a report_mirror.conf snafu and re-ran report_mirror.

Thank you.

/Brian/

> Great question!  Yes!  When you create a URL in the MirrorManager web admin interface, you can select the box "for other mirrors only".  Such URL will then _not_ appear on the publiclist pages, and will not appear in metalinks at all.  The crawler will be able to use it, but it won't be shown to anyone else.
