2007/6/8, Jonathan Dieter <jdieter@xxxxxxxxx>:
It is with great regret that I announce the closing of the yum-presto test repository located at http://www.lesbg.com. Our web host provider, Site5, has unilaterally deleted all of the deltarpms hosted on our site without warning. They believe we were in violation of their Terms of Service because we were making a local mirror of the Fedora repository (even though there's nothing in the TOS about mirroring, and the mirror wasn't accessible from the web). I suspect that the real reason Site5 has killed the repository has more to do with the fact that we were using ~70GB of our 110GB hard drive space. As most of you know, a shared hosting plan only works if nobody uses the space they've paid for. The actual yum-presto plugin still works fine, and we are moving forward towards making F8 presto-enabled by default. I very much doubt that the Fedora Project will create deltarpms for FC6 and F7, though. If you were using the yum-presto test repository, please disable the line that starts with "deltaurl=http://www.lesbg.com/jdieter/..."; and yum will start to work correctly again. I sincerely apologize to those of you who, like me, depended on this test repository to minimize download size. If I can find an alternate provider who is willing to work with me rather than against me, I will try to bring the test repository back up.

which will lead to a bug report of mine: actual behaviour: yum exits 1 if deltarpms repo isnt available. requested behaviour: yum continues to operate properly even if the deltarepo is down and just issues a warning/information to the user. regards, Rudolf Kastl
