[Spacewalk-list] Best why to Sync Centos repo??

[Shaun Rampersad]

Thanks for the reply.

I'm using the following entry in my yum repo file 

[Centos4-x86_64-base]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Base
#baseurl=http://centos.mirror.ac.za/4/os/x86_64/
baseurl=http://mirror.ukhost4u.com/centos/4/os/x86_64/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-4

I changed mirrors above to test if it was a problem with the mirror

When I run the following command, it syncs 486 packages only
#> reposync --repoid=Centos4-x86_64-base

[Centos4-x86_64-base: 485   of 486   ] Skipping existing 
CentOS/RPMS/zlib-1.2.1.2-1.2.i386.rpm
[Centos4-x86_64-base: 486   of 486   ] Skipping existing 
CentOS/RPMS/zlib-devel-1.2.1.2-1.2.i386.rpm

Surely there has to be more than 486 packages on the mirror? The same 
happens with other repo's although they have different counts



Thanks
Shaun

How many packages for CentOS 4 are online on the repository you use to
sync with ? I assume that centos 4 packages are less than those of centos
5. In any case check reposync progress for errors.
