#11418 EPEL repository packages are on IPv4 only server
Closed: Fixed 9 months ago by kevin. Opened 9 months ago by pemensik.

Describe what you would like us to do:


It is know and described on:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/epel-faq/#ipv6_download_server

Yet this is stupid. Moreover, proposed IPv6 enabled server has indexing disabled. So if someone wants to enable EPEL from ipv6-only network, it is quite difficult task to find correct working url.

Could we please move at least pgp keys and epel repo packages to IPv6 enabled server? Or at least choose some mirror, which is IPv6 enabled and has indexing supported at least on /pub/epel directory? I think it should be possible to provide at least redirect to mirror offering IPv6 from dl.fedoraproject.org. Or map just AAAA RR to prepare mirror directly.

This seems lame in 2023, especially when most of Fedora services are IPv6 enabled.

When do you need this to be done by? (YYYY/MM/DD)


ASAP


  • curl -4f https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/ provides list of files.
  • curl -f https://download-ib01.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/ does not, even it is recommended from FAQ as a workaround.

download-ib01 / download-cc-rdu01 are fixed. There was a incorrect selinux label from their recent re-setup.

Our main datacenter doesn't yet provide us with ipv6, although there's been a bunch of background work to enable that going on.
I will ask them again about it.

I'm not sure what else we can do right now on this... are those hosts working sufficient for you?

Gonna close this one for now. There's not much we can do until we have ipv6 available at our main datacenter, and thats beyond our control really. ;(

As soon as it's there we will definitely set things up there.
