AFAIR the mirrors get syncs of the rpms and such, but not the meta data for yum. That way more mirrors can catch up without immediately getting hammered with downloads. When enough mirrors are synced, the meta data either goes out or is created and the announcement is usually made. The meta data syncs fairly fast.Hi folks, Normally people ask "when is CentOS 4.7 coming" and they are told "when it is ready". Dag posted on his blog about it going to testing in July while itwas supposed to be syncing to the mirrors on Sept 5/6th according to Karanbir.Is there something going on behind the scenes? I have not seen Johnny Hughes or even Dag posting on this list for some time. CentOS has gone for some time while other rebuilds folded so I wouldn't like it to follow the same way. Thanks, Josh
So mirrors could be catching up right now, but a yum update wouldn't tell you anything.
