I'm sorry we broke people's rsync-based repository mirroring. I should have communicated this change well in advance. To get you all mirroring our repositories again, I've configured rsync.puppet.com. You can sync from it using a command like:
rsync -av --copy-links --del rsync://rsync.puppet.com/packages/yum/ /tmp/yum/ rsync -av --copy-links --del rsync://rsync.puppet.com/packages/apt/ /tmp/apt/ Please let me know if you have any trouble with the new rsync service.
