Why

dl.fedoraproject.org is the Fedora master and is heavily throttled from Sydney, so cold fetches of F44 content (37 MB primary + every uncached package) starve and dnf times out (curl error 28). The earlier fix considered the EU tier-1 mirror ftp.uni-stuttgart.de, but a Sydney mirror (syd.mirror.rackspace.com) now carries the full F44 tree (releases/44 + updates/44 + development/rawhide, all verified repomd 200 over https) and serves the same immutable hashes as dl. Local and low-latency (~4.7 MB/s) beats a fast EU hop.

How

  • Repoint the fedora remote base_url from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux to https://syd.mirror.rackspace.com/fedora (rackspace roots its Fedora tree at /fedora, not /fedora/linux). ttls/description/immutable_patterns unchanged; the existing releases/, updates/, development/, noarch patterns all still resolve.

After apply, evict the fedora repodata cache so metadata is re-fetched from the new backend.

## Why `dl.fedoraproject.org` is the Fedora master and is heavily throttled from Sydney, so cold fetches of F44 content (37 MB primary + every uncached package) starve and dnf times out (curl error 28). The earlier fix considered the EU tier-1 mirror `ftp.uni-stuttgart.de`, but a Sydney mirror (`syd.mirror.rackspace.com`) now carries the full F44 tree (`releases/44` + `updates/44` + `development/rawhide`, all verified repomd 200 over https) and serves the same immutable hashes as dl. Local and low-latency (~4.7 MB/s) beats a fast EU hop. ## How - Repoint the `fedora` remote `base_url` from `https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux` to `https://syd.mirror.rackspace.com/fedora` (rackspace roots its Fedora tree at `/fedora`, not `/fedora/linux`). ttls/description/immutable_patterns unchanged; the existing `releases/`, `updates/`, `development/`, `noarch` patterns all still resolve.

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.
