SL Users,

I am wondering if anyone knows how to successfully
mirror the Scientific Linux source repo? I.e. for
things like "yumdownloader --source" to work?

Here's what I have in the .repo file for the source,
after distro installation:

    baseurl=http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/$releasever/SRPMS/
            http://ftp1.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/$releasever/SRPMS/
            http://ftp2.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/$releasever/SRPMS/
            ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/$releasever/SRPMS/

but if we look we see:

    lftp ftp.scientificlinux.org:/linux/scientific/6.1/SRPMS> dir
    drwxr-xr-x    2 0        0            2048 Nov 17 20:52 repodata
    drwxr-xr-x    2 0        0            2048 Jul 26 16:52 repos
    drwxr-xr-x    2 0        0           10240 Oct 12 22:05 sl6-added
    drwxr-xr-x    2 0        0           10240 Jul 28 16:19 sl6-changed
    drwxr-xr-x    2 0        0          432128 Nov 17 20:51 vendor

problem with this is that it's in three separate dirs the
src.rpm files are not where expected, and thus I get
metadata for it ('repodata/*.xml' are in correct location)
when I mirror using 'reposync', but there's no actual
packages because they aren't where they're supposed to be.

This problem doesn't seem to affect the binary repositories.
I am mirroring those without problems.

Any ideas? Thanks.
