2 weeks ago List of externally mirrored packages which are not installed from a distribution mirror or pypi.org, ordered by distribution (taken from https://github.com/openstack/kolla/blob/master/kolla/template/repos.yaml) :
Debian/Ubuntu:
- erlang: https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-erlang/ubuntu
- fluentd: https://packages.treasuredata.com/lts/5/debian/bookworm
- grafana: https://apt.grafana.com
- influxdb: https://repos.influxdata.com/ubuntu
- mariadb: https://dlm.mariadb.com/repo/mariadb-server/10.11/repo/debian
- opensearch: https://artifacts.opensearch.org/releases/bundle/opensearch/2.x/apt/
- opensearch-dashboards: https://artifacts.opensearch.org/releases/bundle/opensearch-dashboards/2.x/apt/
- proxysql: https://repo.proxysql.com/ProxySQL/proxysql-2.6.x/bookworm/
- rabbitmq: https://ppa1.novemberain.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/deb/debian
For completeness, here is a list of packages we install from github (https://github.com/openstack/kolla/blob/master/kolla/common/sources.py), though I haven't personally observed any issues pulling these from github:

Problem description:
We invest quite some time in openstack kolla-ansible upstream CI to deal with external mirror breakage, e.g. some mirrors have quotas, some are just unreliable etc. so we need to do retries, which is not consistently done throughout the CI codebase.
This results in CI runs failing spuriously when we hit a code path that has no retries, not enough retries, or retries just don't work, because mirrors on the internet just don't work at the time at all.
This then leads to dev time being wasted on inspecting error for CI failure, retriggering CI, possibly rewriting CI code, to increase timeouts, increase retry counters. Also CI takes of course generally longer, because timers and timeouts get introduced leading to longer feedback loops if a code change passes CI, because not all CI checks can run locally.
a complete CI run can take over 2 hours, partly a result of this.
The idea is, to mirror more packages we currently install from the internet, directly on openstack infrastructure to improve reliability and speed of installation and to improve control and security.
As a first step a list of externally mirrored packages needs to be compiled, so we can decide what we can/want to move to openstack infrastructure.
