CentOS - Feb 2006 - mirrorlist.centos.org port 81? (Yumconf changes)

Hi,

Just a quick note to see if anyone else noted the changes in yum in
the updates. I've disabled thhe new format until i can verify if it
works? As i rebuilt yumex from Scientific Linux (RHEL SRPM rebuild)
and i have not enabled centosplus i don't wanna mess my system. 

I don't believe you can browse the new mirrors.

I think you'll find that we wouldnt have released it unless it had been 
tested ...

Why not - they are the same old mirrors - all that happens is that yum 
gets a lost of local up to date mirrors for the release/repo/arch from the 
mirrorlist server on port 81 - chosen solely so that we can run it on the same
server
as normal apache on port 80.

If you have fastestmirror plugin enabld yum will then test the mirrors and 
use the fastest local connection.

The version of yumex that we have at dev.centos.org alsouses the same 
mirrorlist system.

There are no new mirrors on port 81 ... just a list of mirrors.

Browse to:
http://mirrorlist.centos.org:81/?release=4&arch=i386&repo=updates

Does it say centosplus is enabled or disabled in your file? (should be
disabled)

There is no difference than before, except the list of servers is
dynamic.

All the mirrors are ones that are listed here:
http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=13

All the mirrors have a verified repodata file.
