Describe what you would like us to do:

This is the error I get when trying to pull the latest data:

One of the configured repositories failed (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 7 - Testing - x86_64 - Source),
and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only
safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this:

  1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem.
  2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working
     upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer
     distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the
     packages for the previous distribution release still work).
  3. Run the command with the repository temporarily disabled
         yum --disablerepo=epel-testing-source ...
  4. Disable the repository permanently, so yum won't use it by default. Yum
     will then just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it
     again or use --enablerepo for temporary usage:
         yum-config-manager --disable epel-testing-source
     or
         subscription-manager repos --disable=epel-testing-source
  5. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable.
     Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands,
     so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much
     slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice
     compromise:
         yum-config-manager --save --setopt=epel-testing-source.skip_if_unavailable=true

failure: repodata/repomd.xml from epel-testing-source: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.

When do you need this to be done by? (YYYY/MM/DD)

Thanks for your report.

@adrian did mirrormanager add different repos for SRPMS (we added links back temporarily)

I can see that the repomd.xml doesn't match there, but could it be there's old info for the SRPMS dirs from before we added symlinks back?

Not sure what happened. I fixed it for testing-source-epel8 and testing-source-epel7. Both were (still or again) pointing to SRPMS. That should be fixed in a couple of hours.

Closing. Please re-open if you still see this error in a couple of hours.
