Hello,
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.

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.
