Rackspace (syd.mirror.rackspace.com) never synced Fedora 44: it serves
releases/43 but 404s on releases/44/.../repomd.xml, breaking dnf makecache
for F44 through the caching proxy. Repoint to gsl-syd.mm.fcix.net, a
Sydney-local FCIX tier-1 mirror that is fully synced for F44 (releases +
updates + Packages, verified 200, ~25ms), using the standard
/fedora/linux layout root.
dl.fedoraproject.org is the throttled master, causing F44 cold-fetch
timeouts. uni-stuttgart is a fast tier-1 mirror carrying the full
releases+updates tree.
The fcix micromirror (gsl-syd.mm.fcix.net) does not carry F44, so dnf
gets HTTP 404 for releases/44/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/repomd.xml.
dl.fedoraproject.org is the canonical always-current Fedora source.
repodata (repomd.xml and its referenced index files) is a mutable index that
upstream RPM repos rotate frequently. Marking it immutable (immutable_ttl: 0)
makes artifactapi cache repomd.xml forever: classifier.go checks
immutable_patterns before the RPM provider's own rule (which already classifies
repodata/ as mutable), and SetTTL with ttl=0 writes a Redis key with no expiry.
The result is a stale repomd.xml that keeps pointing at checksum-named metadata
files upstream has already deleted -> 404 on dnf metadata refresh. This broke
rpmbuilder's almalinux8 builds via the epel remote and would eventually hit any
rolling RPM remote.
Remove the repodata immutable patterns from every remote_rpm config so repodata
falls through to the provider's Mutable classification and is re-fetched every
mutable_ttl. RPMs, noarch, GPG keys and .img files stay immutable.
- Drop ".*/repodata/.*\.{xml,sqlite,yaml}.*$" from all config/remote_rpm/*.yaml
(14 files, 20 lines).
After apply, the already-cached stale repodata entries must be evicted (they
have no expiry); that is done per-remote as a follow-up.
The rpmfusion-free / rpmfusion-nonfree repos have no artifactapi remote,
so nodes still point at the retired packagerepo.service.consul mirror and
dnf fails to fetch repomd.xml.
Add caching remote proxies for both trees, pointed at the upstream
download1.rpmfusion.org origin, so el nodes can install RPM Fusion
packages (ffmpeg, etc.) through artifactapi.
