The Fedora 21 packages are ready since a few days, now
we just wait for
the mirrors to synchronize ...
About the mirroring issue: the YUM package manager (used by Redhat,
Fedora, Centos) has its own integrated mirrors management system.
In the past, I've tried not using it and simply using the ppa redirector
as a single mirror for RPM packages, but for an unknown reason it gave
bad results (strange error messages in YUM and not able to install
Trinity entirely).
So, I decided to play the game and use the actual YUM mirroring system.
Currently, I build the list of YUM mirrors from the following page:
https://www.trinitydesktop.org/mirrorstatus.php
Alas, I believe that this list does not take care of RPM packages
status, that's why you are redirected to mirrors which do not actually
contain the RPM packages ....
Hopefully it should be solved automatically after all mirrors are
synchronized.
Until then, here is my repo information to connect to the yosemite mirror, which seems to
be the only mirror fully populated for F21:
====================================
/etc/yum.repos.d/trinity.repo
====================================
[trinity-r14]
name=trinity-r14
baseurl=http://tde-mirror.yosemite.net/trinity/trinity/rpm/f21/trinity-r14/…
#mirrorlist=http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity/rpm/f21/trinity-r14-$basearch.list
#mirrorlist=/etc/yum.repos.d/trinity-r14-$basearch.list
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-trinity
[trinity-r14-noarch]

[trinity-r14-source]

mirrorlist=http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity/rpm/f…
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-trinity
====================================
After the mirrors all sync the repo information can be changed from
tde-mirror.yosemite.net to ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net.
The wiki would be updated as follows:
http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity/rpm/f21/trinity-…
