[Starlingx-discuss] Download packages issues

[Scott Little]

The 'bash download_mirror.sh' step seems to be very fragile. e.g. this 
morning I tried to start fresh and it failed at several points.

    ------ using kernel-3.10.0-862.3.2.el7 to search 
kernel-3.10.0-862.3.2.el7.src.rpm ------
    --> run: sudo -E yumdownloader -q -C --source kernel-3.10.0-862.3.2.el7
    Looking for kernel-3.10.0-862.3.2.el7.src.rpm
    No source RPM found for kernel-3.10.0-862.3.2.el7.x86_64
    Nothing to download


     ------ using epel-rpm-macros-7-18 to search 
epel-rpm-macros-7-18.noarch.rpm ------
    --> run: sudo -E yumdownloader -q -C epel-rpm-macros-7-18 
--archlist=noarch,x86_64
    Looking for epel-rpm-macros-7-18.noarch.rpm...
    No Match for argument epel-rpm-macros-7-18
    Nothing to download


and the tarball downloads failed on.

Is this really going to be our default operating mode?   Never knowing, 
day by day, when the next package will be dropped from an upstream 
source.  Is it possible for strarlingX to host it's own mirrors... of at 
least the needed subset of packages?
