Hi,
Is there any way to deactivate the redirection to a mirror when using the third-party EPEL repository ?
Our network uses a transparent HTTP/HTTPS proxy with a local AC. We can create exceptions for sites like centos.org or download.fedoraproject.org, but whenever we want to install a package from EPEL, the mirror redirection causes an error due to redirection.
Any suggestions ?
Firstly in /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo you need to use baseurl instead of mirrorlist. I assume you are already doing this.
So then you need to do a curl -i to the baseurl (change $basearch to either i386 or x86_64) to see where it is redirecting you. For example:
$ curl -i http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386 HTTP/1.1 302 Found Date: Tue, 22 May 2018 09:04:35 GMT Server: Apache/2.4.29 (Fedora) mod_wsgi/4.5.15 Python/2.7 X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN X-Xss-Protection: 1; mode=block X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff Referrer-Policy: same-origin Content-Length: 0 Location: https://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/ Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 AppTime: D=4793 AppServer: proxy14.fedoraproject.org
Then edit baseurl in epel.repo to use the URL listed in Location: instead, changing the i386 or x86_64 back to $basearch
Then you can create an exception for the specific host you configured.
