No such file or directory for update/tumbleweed

Description
Hi,
I noticed that our mirror is not syncing up https://download.opensuse.net.br/update/tumbleweed folder.
It's just a broken link.
If I run:
$ rsync --list-only rsync.opensuse.org::opensuse-full-with-factory/opensuse/update/tumbleweed/
I get the following error:
rsync: change_dir "/opensuse/update/tumbleweed" (in opensuse-full-with-factory) failed: No such file or directory (2)
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1677) [Receiver=3.1.3]
It seems the module is broken, can someone confirm and fix it?

Actually we do, but rarely. Currently, the update repo for Tumbleweed has the polkit security fix. It also contains some update-test-* packages.
Just checked on the server: opensuse-full-with-factory is basically /srv/ftp-stage/pub with a few excludes (unrelated to the update repo).
The interesting detail might be this symlink:
# ls -l /srv/ftp-stage/pub/opensuse/update/tumbleweed
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 69 Nov 24 2020 /srv/ftp-stage/pub/opensuse/update/tumbleweed -> /srv/ftp/pub/opensuse/repositories/openSUSE:/Factory:/Update/standard
Either rsync blocks symlinks that go outside of the configured path, or it errors out on your end because you probably don't have the directory /srv/ftp/pub/opensuse/repositories/openSUSE:/Factory:/Update/standard on your mirror.
So much for the analysis. I'll leave fixing the symlink to Per ;-)

Kindof. Because it is just a symlink to repositories/, most mirrors never see it.

The rsync and the symlink work fine, but the destination does not exist on the mirror.

Yup.
There is really two/three issues:
- I doubt if any mirrors have that specific directory, my own does not, but I do see the two dangling symlinks.
- The link could be corrected locally, but the mirror would need to carry at least that part of repositories/
- The link could be corrected on pontifex, but the mirror would need to carry at least that part of repositories/
I can of course change the symlink to be relative, but it won't fix the problem.
For mirrors that carry repositories, it is easy fixed locally, such as at http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse - for everyone else (the vast majority) it is also up to the mirror admin.

In our case, we don't mirror repositories only distribution, tumbleweed, and update. We have limited space and might be better to just ignore this path and not sync it.
If there's no other solution we can close this ticket.
