openSUSE admin

Howdy Team,

This has been raised on the mirror mailing list previously to no
response, but I'm seeing a large number of broken symlinks when
pulling from the tier 0 server:

The broken links in history seem to be a bad relative reference, but
the update links are particularly concerning:

fcixadmin@griffin1:/data/mirror/opensuse/opensuse/update$ ls -l
total 17
drwxr-xr-x 13 fcixadmin fcixadmin 13 Dec 3 06:09 leap

lrwxrwxrwx 1 fcixadmin fcixadmin 10 Nov 24 2020 tumbleweed-non-oss
-> tumbleweed

It looks like there's an errant reference to
/srv/ftp/pub/opensuse/repositories/openSUSE:/Factory:/Update/standard
which isn't getting dereferenced for rsync clients, so most mirrors
are not able to host those folders.

I will also point out that the wiki says that the opensuse-full and
opensuse-full-with-factory are supposed to carry all of the contents
of download.opensuse.org, but I've found that the with-factory module
doesn't include ports or source, so I need to run three separate
rsyncs to actually pull in everything.

The fact that the https://mirrors.opensuse.org/ dashboard doesn't
recognize that mirror.fcix.net is carrying everything is also odd.
