Out of curiousity is there a reason you cannot just
use the redirector URL
at ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net? We strongly recommend to use that
URL vs. individual mirrors as mirrors come and go on the TDE system fairly
regularly (at least once a year it seems).
I am using the ppa redirector, although I have to manually type the URL because the wiki
is not updated. The redirector always takes me to the yosemite mirror. I presume because
that mirror is the only mirror populated with Fedora R14 packages or more likely because
of my geographical location.
At this point only the yosemite site contains R14 packages for Fedora.
The aforementioned mirrors list is used by yum to find the fastest mirror for each user.
Although I am redirected to the yosemite site, yum searches that single file and discovers
none of the listed sites have Fedora packages because the list does not contain the
yosemite site. Yum then bails out.
For myself I am able to manually edit my local repo file to force using the yosemite site
but that will not help anybody else. If the mirrors list contained the yosemite site then
Fedora users would be able to install R14.
Both the mirrors list and wiki need to be updated to install R14 on Fedora. Once that is
completed the yosemite site will fill the gap until the other mirrors are populated.
