Ok, so for now the only way to mirror the i686 altarch tree is to get it over http at: http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/ ?
see if this works for you msync.centos.org::altarch - we dont have a clear policy for the mirrorlist and tracking side of things, that will still take a few days/weeks to resolve, but it should not have any user facing impact as we have enough capacity in mirror.centos.org to handle the yum and install operations for these altarch distro's.
My problem is as follows: I'm managing some nodes without network access so would like to mirror altarch (aarch64), but that mirror can't be public for "security" reasons so I can't request rsync access anyway.
To make things more fun, the outbound connections this private mirror makes are filtered and I need to give a whitelist that will go on a proxy (can't cheat DNS for http), and both mirror.centos.org and msync.centos.org are server-side round-robins/smart answers (can't easily establish a full list nor tell when it changes automagically)
For regular repos, I'm mirroring via rsync through regular secondary mirrors without much problem (because it's just one IP), but altarch isn't mirrored (it looks like there is one in vault, but it is rather empty - see http://mirror.ufs.ac.za/centos-vault/altarch/7.1.1503/aarch64/os/ )
But I'm stuck because of the IP pool basically. The repo hardly ever gets updated so I'm http-slurping it somewhere else once in a while, but it's not viable in the long run.
Is there any plan to make altarch mirrored more widely (on vault again?), or is there a public list where one could check mirror.centos.org's IPs?
Thanks,
