Now that http://mirror.centos.org/centos-3/3.3/updates/i386/RPMS/ is gone (be it by design or error)
It hasnt gone - it just contains the same as 3.4 ...
It should be a symlink to 3.4 - and if not then something has gone wrong.
(I have just checked the mirrors and it looks like one of them has been set up wrong - it is centosl - I will try yo fix it ...)
I assume that all the patches for a CentOS-3.3 box can be found in http://mirror.centos.org/centos-3/3.4/updates/i386/RPMS/
Can anyone confirm this?
well some of the updates may be in os/ rather than updates/
In other words, Does the 3.4 updates directory contain updates to 3.3 and 3.4?
If the answer is Yes: Good. Now what about 3.1? Should those updates be in the 3.4 directory as well?
3.1 is also a symlink to 3.4
If the answer is No: What am I meant to do with my CentOS-3.3 media? I can not install with it anymore because I can't get patches.
of course you can - you install and then update to 3.4
The management of these update directories always causes me confusion though it should be simple.
It is simple :)
