[mirror-admin] rsync targets for Fedora content please

The crawler now uses URLs marked "for mirrors only", so you can mark your rsync modules as such if necessary, and they won't show up on the publiclist or yum mirrorlists.

Thanks,
Matt

Thanks for the reminder.  I need a trivial change to the crawler to pick up the private URLs, not just the public ones.  I'll get this pushed out ASAP.

Thanks,
Matt

I added the 'rsync for mirrors only' option a week ago but we're not seeing any connections from 209.132.181.0/24 to the rsync daemon.

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.

If you need to, on your side in your rsync modules, you can restrict to 209.132.181.0/24 which will allow the MirrorManager servers in Fedora Infrastructure to hit your URL, but no one else.

Thanks,
Matt

Please consider adding an rsync module for each Category of content you carry, and add the URLs into MirrorManager.

Is there a way to only allow rsync access for the MirrorManager
server(s) and not be listed as a public rsync mirror?
