Does have anyone a rscync line for me to get the whole FC3 tree to my local hdd? I am still using some FC3 boxes, and dont want to miss the FL packages if i need some... I wanted to do the same, but 'rsync download.fedoralegacy.org::legacy legacy' told me I wasn't allowed to do that because I'm not a registered mirror. The mirror page tells me mirror registration is disabled. Any other way to get the tree without having to download each individual package?

I've found the centos community to be very helpful. then again - I'm not sure what there is to need help on w/centos. There's not much in the way of excitement w/it.

I had made all the important servers RH7.3 -- 2 NIS servers, NFS server and CVS server. The NIS servers were 7.2, but I upgraded them to 7.3 shortly after being informed that I would be laid off soon. Now they have nobody taking care of the machines, just automatic updates through yum. Hopefully, they'll last forever. The company does have real RHELs running on its development servers, but kind of goes with trying to develop and sell enterprise software for Linux. Though one of my key home servers is also RH7.3, and have no desire to upgrade it.

It seems like their attitude toward systems maintenance and employee interaction are a bit cavalier and they deserve whatever they get stuck with. I'm sorry you were laid off.

They recommend we update FC2's 6.2.5-2 to 6.2.5.5. The update is supposed to be security and serious bugfixes which fits into Legacy policy. Can someone file a bug?

Re: Old yum? New yum? Re: Typo in yum instructions
Yes, that is what I am saying here. It is not a great feat to write a script which runs from cron and does if status is not zero then download packages from this list. Of course when '--download-only' option was available you did not have to write that script. If you want to use --download-only there is a plugin for yum that will enable that. -sv -- fedora-legacy-list mailing list fedora-legacy-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legacy-list
