That was yesterday. Just now clicking on the uni URL I
posted (above) shows the mirror is up to date as of today, ~6:25
AM. That's time at the mirror so it's probly +1 or +2 GMT.
Which reinforces my main point (yesterday). You need to
verify mirror structure (path to RPMS/) and the date/times of the
hdlist*'s in the mirror's ../base dir
There's a new cooker mirror checker posted just today
http://home.skycon.net/~junfan/cookermirrors.php that makes this
a lot easier.
At this point in time, it's probly useful for 9.x, 10.0
users too. If the mirror is up to date for cooker, it's probly
current for past Mdk versions also.
