Hmm - I could have sworn that, when I made the change, I also updated the site. The idea is this - for static information (for example - I'm looking for a Mandrake mirror, where can I find one?), you go to http://mirror.hamakor.org.il. For updates (I'm using a mandrake mirror from http://mirror.hamakor.org.il/, and I want to make sure that if it goes down, I get prior notice), you subscribe to the mirror-announce mailing list. In this case, neither announcement nor static site update worked too well. My appologies. The site has now been updated, and I'll also send a message to the list.

Mandrake update mirrors in Israel?
I used to use IGLU's mirror for my work Mandrake 9.1 x86 updates, and Hamakor's mirror for my home Mandrake 9.1 PPC updates. It seems those update mirrors are no longer functional. The latest RPM in Hamakor is from August. First, the PPC updates at Hamakor stopped arriving. I switched to one of the official mirrors in Europe and there was a whole bunch of newer RPMs there. This week, the same happened to me with IGLU's mirror. Any clues? Alternative mirrors that are actually up-to-date? I'm talking about security/bugfix mirrors, not the ISO or the net install.

Re: Mandrake update mirrors in Israel?
The Mandrake mirrors on Hamakor has been suspended for now. I think Shahar posted a message on this subj a while ago.

RE: Mandrake update mirrors in Israel?
-Original Message- With such questions (what's up with Hamakor's mirrors of X?) cropping up from time to time - may I suggest that Hamakor will setup a mirrors-status mailing list so people can subscribe there to get updates about what's going on with it?

Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED]: (CC'ed to Shachar as well, as Hamakor's rep on this subject). With such questions (what's up with Hamakor's mirrors of X?) cropping up from time to time - may I suggest that Hamakor will setup a mirrors-status mailing list so people can subscribe there to get updates about what's going on with it? It may be a good idea, but since a part of my complaint was the IGLU mirror, it wouldn't have worked this time. Besides, questions such as alternative mirrors may not be answered if not seen by a larger community. So, anybody knows what's up with the IGLU Mandrake update mirror?

I am afraid that I do not have the time to constantly watch the changes as they happen and update the html. If anyone would like to take the responsibility, I will be glad to cooperate.

Oleg, Why don't you just write a script to show the Last Updated column as an output of ls ? Let the machine do the work... ;-) On Wednesday 12 November 2003 13:48, Oleg Kobets wrote: It's a nice idea, but very time consuming.
