There was some talk several months ago about someone maybe setting up Mirror Manager for CentOS as a replacement for the current system... did anything ever come of that? It seems to work very well for Fedora so I can't help but be curious. Thanks!
Long story short : MirrorManager *needs* a central authentication tool. Such debate about switching to FAS or IPA is already taking place, but in the infra meeting and also on the centos-devel list, so let's not discuss that in the centos-mirror one. Once we'll have decided and switched to such central auth tool, we'll be able to then evaluate a need to move to something else.
For the record. A central authentication tool is of course the better solution but the RPM Fusion MirrorManager instance is just using a postgresql database for account management. This has the disadvantage that the users cannot create the account and passwords by themselves. But it works.
