I'm posting this more as an FYI, in case it helps. I'll see if I can open
a call with Oracle next week.
When you create a product/repo for OL6 Latest, the sync fails with 'not
gzipped file'.
I believe this is because the ./repodata directory in:
http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/latest/x86_64
goes to:
http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/latest/repodata/
rather than:
http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/latest/x86_64/repodata/
where the data is.
