This EL6 update has now built and has been though CI testing:

https://ci.centos.org/view/CentOS-Core/job/C6-x86_64-Pretest-Updates/171/console

And has been pushed to the Master mirror.

It should populate all mirror.centos.org servers in the next hour and
then external mirrors as they sync on their schedules.

I'll release the announce message shortly after mirror.centos.org
machines are populated.

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes

speaking of, that brings up a question I've had been meaning to ask...

Is there any mechanism in place to keep these external mirror updates 
coherent, so there's no window where a client doing a yum update could 
pull down an updated RPM which depends on another updated RPM that's not 
yet available on that mirror ?

The repodata for all repo's syncs after all the rpms (in a second run)
.. so that should not happen on a mirror.centos.org.

For external mirrors, those are donated and maintained by people who are
volunteers .. we have no real input on how often they update or how they
do it.

We do modify our mirrorlist so that it only lists the mirrors that have
the proper repodata.  If the external mirrors also sync their repodata
last, this should be sufficient.
