Hidden packages in epel repo?

General Discussion & Chat
1

I noticed that the web view of the epel repo appears to be capped at 10000 files.
In particular, the repodata references distribution-gpg-keys-1.117-1.el10_1.alma_altarch which I’m able to download, but doesn’t appear when I point my browser at the Packages directory at Packages
Is there another way to get my browser to show me the full directory contents of this Packages directory?

That is probably a server/page limitation.

You can do on terminal:

dnf --repo=epel list available

That should list “all”.

# dnf --repo=epel repoinfo epel

(the “+2” is due to the header lines on ‘list available’):

This artificial limitation in the browser was due to a Caddy default limitation.

We’ve moved our mirrors/repo over to nginx which can display the full list by default.
