Re: [CentOS] How to query the new style mirrorlist ?

Hi,

From CentOS 4.3, I saw the yum repository setting

/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo is something like:

---

mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&rep...

Is that possible I can query the result by lynx ? I have a script to get the URL and path in old yum repository style, but broken in this. When I use "lynx http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=4.3&arch=i386&repo=os", it shows me "4.3 hasnt been released yet". I need to get the result like the baseurl style "http://free.nchc.org.tw/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/" or a list of urls.

The mirrorlist will only track against a Release, which in this case is /4/ and not /4.3/

is there any specific reason you want to look at /4.3/ instead of /4/ ?
