That's a damn shame.  Anybody know how/where to get a reliable mirror?  Any recommendations?

It's not very pretty - but it works fine for my needs. I just have it run every night. I use an exclude file because I don't like receiving the kernel via this method. All messages go to STDOUT - which is fine because I have this run via a cron job. Hope it can be of use to you :-) neil. #!/bin/sh cd /your/updates/path MIRROR=rsync.mirror.ac.uk MIRRORPATH=download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/1/i386/ MIRROROPTS=' -avz --delete --exclude-from=myexcludefile' echo -n -e "${TCYAN}(Slowly) Mirroring updates ${TNORM}" rsync $MIRROROPTS rsync://$MIRROR/$MIRRORPATH $UPDDIR if [ $? != 0 ] ; then echo echo -e "${TRED}Mirroring failed for some reason!" failure fi #success #done

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 So I'm trying to setup my own yum repository. At first, I used mirrors.kernel.org, but when i went to update my system, it complained about missing packages. So I checked, and sure enough, an updated version of openoffice was missing on their site. Slightly annoyed, I went digging for another site. Found one, did the mirror thing, not even thinking they'd be missing the same thing ( my fault, I know ). Sure enough, they were missing the updated openoffice file ( wish I had it handy, which one was missing ). So, went to fedora.redhat.com/fedora/linux/core/... and sure enough, it has the updated package. So, I want to mirror directly from redhat, but I don't see instructions for how to do it ( namely, what the server name is that I can rsync from ). Can anybody help me out here? - -- Sean Kennedy PGP public key: http://tpno.org/keys/0xFC1C377F.asc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list(a)redhat.com To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
