Using this Ansible role anyone should be able to easily and securely
configure a machine as a Shibboleth package mirror:

  https://github.com/peter-/shib-rpm-mirror
  https://galaxy.ansible.com/peter-/shib-rpm-mirror/

If things are unclear from the existing documentation included above I
can certainly expanded on that (or create a page on the Shibboleth wiki).

I've successfully tested this on clean/minimal installs of:

* Debian 9 ("Stretch") and 8 ("Jessie")
* Ubuntu 16.04 LTS ("Xenial") and 14.04 LTS ("Trusty")
* CentOS 7 and CentOS 6

The README has additional disclaimers/instructions for some those, though.
Personally I'd be fine with questions/issues reported here or via
github issues.

Hope this motivates more mirror sites to be contributed (esp from
consortium members, or maybe from those not able to join yet) to get
rid of those OBS errors for good.
