Moving the repos off the mirror network will

<div>Whoa! </div>

<div>What will happen if I run a "yum update" on a
CO6 machine? We have it run automatically at
reboot and I need to know what will happen so I
can see if the rest of the scripts we run at
startup will be OK.</div>

<div>Yes we are updating them, but it's hard to do
when you can't go onsite due to COVID.</div>

<div>I'm not really very happy with this throwing an error.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I get it. People need to upgrade. But breaking things
that are part of automated processes is a crappy way to get
the message across.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As I mentioned, upgrades will take some time still, and
now I have more work to deal with our unupgraded systems, so
now it will take even longer to upgrade.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks a bunch.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>(Sorry for the sarcasm, but this is not a nice way to
deal with the situation).</div>
