It has been crazy this past week how a rsync on the update repo keeps downloading a number of openoffice.org rpms then deleting them. And the repodata directory seems to be messed up so that I have problems on some systems doing updates with it. My rsync script is: #!/bin/sh rsync -auv rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5.2/updates/i386/ \ --delete --exclude=debug/ /repos/centos/5.2/updates/i386 Oh, and today we have announcement of some Centos 5 updates, but nothing available yet.

What update are you not seeing? (WOC: I usually do _not_ see the updates in the announce list until a day or two after they've already appeared in the update popup, so you have me a little confused here....) HTH mhr

I'm not well educated on how to read the centos mirror status page, but mirrors.kernel.org does appear to have a potentially questionable status of late. http://mirror-status.centos.org/ -- Jeff

I think i downloaded the whole openoffice.org updates half a dozen times. Down they would come (>200Mb worth), then they would get deleted, then downloaded again. Seems stable now....
