Now that http://mirror.centos.org/centos-3/3.3/updates/i386/RPMS/ is gone (be it by design or error)
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?
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?
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.
The management of these update directories always causes me confusion though it should be simple.
What about old centos's which yum.conf point on "centos-3" instead of "centos" ? I Think we still need a simlink "centos-3" on "centos" , or we will get this message:
Error getting file http://mirror.centos.org/centos-3/3.3/addons/i386/headers/header.info [Errno 4] IOError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found
In a normal way, i should not have to modify yum.conf by hand ...
