yum repository not browsable
From time to time we have some challenge with the installation of packages from a repository. To troubleshoot the issue we usually use a web browser to brows the repository to "see what is there" and to download and inspect individual packages to determine signing and dependencies. The repository at ose-repo.syslog-ng.com is not browsable. https://ose-repo.syslog-ng.com/yum/stable/ results in a 404 error. Can the repository be changed to allow it to be browsed? Is there some reason to disallow browsing that escapes me? -- Evan
Hi, This drives me mad too. As far as I can remember, it's a limitation of the storage place serving the files. But I'll ask my colleagues again.

Thanks to Folti, now we have static index pages both for the yum <https://ose-repo.syslog-ng.com/yum/> and apt <https://ose-repo.syslog-ng.com/apt/> repositories. We also updated the project's main README.md <https://github.com/syslog-ng/syslog-ng?tab=readme-ov-file#debianubuntu> to reference the given repository packages directly.
