Does anyone know how I would go about setting up my CentOS machines
(on campus) to use the UMOSS mirror?
Thanks

All of the distributions should be updated (or in the process of
synchronizing) by now -- except Gentoo, the one major distribution
that had an "unofficial" mirror. The portage mirror is still there,
though, available over HTTP or rsync.

Sorry, I missed your first message to the list. The mirror is actually
trying to sync each of the distros several times each day, but the storage
requirements keep outgrowing our disks. I usually address this by deleting
old releases, but now I'm going to just drop a mirror or two... at least
until we get new disks (need to order them, install, transfer lots of
content)
Most distros will have scripts that will have noticed the mirror is out of
date, so people should not be getting sent here automatically.

After silence from the UMLUG list, I checked out the contact page on the
UMOSS site.
http://mirror.umoss.org/contact/
I emailed the listed address, mir...@umoss.org, but, after 3 days of trying,
gmail says it is unable to deliver the message. So, unless I hear otherwise
from someone, I'm going to assume that the UMOSS site is no longer being
actively maintained.
For anyone interested, the following was the message gmail gave me about the
failure to deliver the email:
"Technical details of permanent failure:
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient
domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further
information about the cause of this error. The error that the other server
returned was: 452 452 4.3.1 Insufficient system storage (state 13)."
Kind regards,

For a while I've had my Ubuntu (10.04) machine set to use the UMOSS mirror
for apt. I was recently having a problem with a package
(flashplugin-installer), and on a whim I went into the repository dialog in
synaptic and selected the main US mirror instead. Upon updating, I found
there are now a bunch of packages waiting to upgrade, and installing that
version of flashplugin-installer works. So what I'm wondering is, is the
UMOSS mirror actually up to date?
I'm honestly not sure how to verify when it was last updated and compare
that to the main mirror. It's, of course, possible that I just hit a narrow
window between when the main mirror was update and when the UMOSS one was,
but that does seem relatively improbable.
Kind regards,
Nick
