Crashes with CENTOS 7 EPEL repository.

[awalk57]

Works fine with centos 7 base but when configured for Epel. It crashes. Difference is that fedora Epel repository is broken up by alpha first letter. Is there a flat EPEL centos 7 repository I can use as alternative?

Hi, thanks for the report.

I'll try to reproduce this behaviour on a test environment.

@awalk57 how did you configure epel for your centos 7? Could you please post the error you get?

Thanks, Jan

[awalk57]

ok, here was my configuration.

url = http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/ local = epel-centos-7-x86-64/epel/7/x86_64/ type = Yum

and here is the error [root@9708d4317fc2 rex]# repositorio --mirror --repo=epel-centos-7-x86-64

Going to mirror epel-centos-7-x86-64. This may take a while.

Hi @awalk57 ,

your url will redirect to a mirror. The problem here is, that sometimes it redirects to mirrors that are not existing anymore. Or it even does not redirect at all.

For example:

root@bac5abee7552:~# curl -I http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2015 19:09:41 GMT
Server: Apache/2.4.6 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) mod_wsgi/3.4 Python/2.7.5
Location: http://mirror.de.leaseweb.net/epel/7/x86_64/

root@bac5abee7552:~# curl -I http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2015 19:10:44 GMT
Server: Apache/2.4.6 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux)
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

root@bac5abee7552:~# curl -I http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2015 19:10:59 GMT
Server: Apache/2.4.6 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux)
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

root@bac5abee7552:~# curl -I http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2015 19:11:00 GMT
Server: Apache/2.4.6 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) mod_wsgi/3.4 Python/2.7.5
Location: http://fedora.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/fedora-epel/7/x86_64/

So i suggest to not use download.fedoraproject.org in the url but to use a known working mirror.

HTH, Jan

I'm closing this one because i think this is solved. If not, feel free to open it again.

I'm still seeing this issue @krimdomu even with epel 7 mirrors. Tried mirror.cogentco.com and mirror.math.princeton.edu. Both hang at package download at around 12%.
