+{subsection: Motivation}
+Some of our collaborators in Europe or other continents would like to keep a locally available mirror for the ease of updating their YUM installs of Condor
+in large pools. Since all of the Condor YUM repository is already publicly available, there is no enforceability to restrict the mirroring of it. Hence it is made available.

On =parrot.cs.wisc.edu=, in the =/etc/rsyncd.conf= file, you will find these
-configurations. They were set up by the CSL at the Condor Team's request and are maintained by the CSL. The Condor Team uses the usual channels to communicate with the CSL when this configuration needs changing.
