Comment on Amazon Cloud Traffic Is Suffocating Fedora's Mirrors

Comments

So I know this is only kind of relevant, but... why is EPEL on Fedora mirrors at all? AFAIK EPEL is specifically for RHEL et al. and its packages don't even target Fedora.

EPEL is a separate module from fedora-enchilada, but uses the same backend CDN infrastructure and most mirrors tend to carry both /fedora/ and /epel/, so they're not technically the same mirrors, but most mirrors tend to carry both.

It's built and maintained by the Fedora community
