rsync mirroring issue.

[Prentice Bisbal]

I'm trying to rsync the SDL 9 repos from mirror.math.princeton.edu to a server in my virtual lab at home for testing.  It seems that when I rsync 9, I'm missing out on some key directories, specifically, these two:

9/x86_64/os/Updates_AppStream/
9/x86_64/os/Updates_BaseOS/

I am rsyncing updates/9/, too, but the problem is that something (repo metadata, I presume) is telling the installer to look at those two paths above, and not in updates/9/. See the attached pic. Sorry for the screen capture,but I can't cut-and-paste text from my VBox guest to my host at this stage.

Here's my rsync commands. I don't think I'm doing anything wrong:

#!/bin/bash

PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

# Mirror Springdale 9
src="rsync://springdale.princeton.edu/PUIAS.WORLD/9.0/"
dst="/var/www/repos/springdale/9.0"

rsync -avHz --no-o --no-g --delete --delete-excluded \
        --exclude=source \
        --exclude=debug \
        --exclude=iso \
        $src $dst

src="rsync://springdale.princeton.edu/PUIAS.WORLD/updates/9.0/"
dst="/var/www/repos/springdale/updates/9.0"
rsync -avHz --no-o --no-g --delete --delete-excluded \
        --exclude=SRPMS \
        --exclude=debug \
        $src $dst

Any idea what is wrong here? I can figure I can remedy with links, but those will be destroyed the next time I rsync, so an upstream fix is preferred.

Update: I found the problem and it is an upstream problem. It turns out I *do* have those directories (I didn't see them before, and I looked - I swear!), bu they're pointing to the wrong place, they're pointing to 8.6's directories, which is wrong, and doesn't exist on my system:

root@master os]# pwd
/var/www/repos/springdale/9.0/x86_64/os
[root@master os]# ls -l
total 4
drwxr-xr-x. 4 root root   82 Jul 18 18:33 AppStream
drwxr-xr-x. 4 root root   82 Jul 18 18:33 BaseOS
