RHEL 7 updates sync / mass delete issue

Posted on

I have used mrepo for years to replicate content for RHEL to an internal host. Since RHEL 7.4 was published, there has been inconsistency in the update retrieval process. When my sync ran early this morning, it removed 16,197 RPMs from the RHEL 7 updates repo. The next time it runs, it will most likely synchronize those RPMs again. This has been happening once or twice a week since the release. mrepo uses lftp with certificate-based authentication and has been stable since RHEL 7.0 was released.

I saw a note from Red Hat about CDN issues when RHEL 7.4 was first released and I wonder if they still exist. Are other users of mrepo or users of Satellite seeing similar synchronization issues?
