Yesterday I pulled down a major update to OpenOffice. But no updates to repodata.
I waited a day to see if there was some reason for the lag (like more rpms needed to complete the set), but still today, no repodata to pull down (my rsync looks for more recent file dates).
Help?

See the same problem here. Wait for the mirrors to sync I presume.

I have waited a day....
I run my rsync against: mirrors.kernel.org
date on mirror.centos.org is Jan. 16 22:11. The Openoffice-Packages are newer, yes. Looks like the repodata hasn't been updated yet. Either deliberately or because of a problem.

metadata is generated when an update is announced and released.

Please understand that there are times when we may push an update (to get the billion places it needs to sync to going .. a process that can take several hours) BEFORE we test all aspects of the package.
We do initial tests on the package (local install, compare against upstream) first, but we like to test some packages a bit more, especially if something doesn't look 100% right (even though it passed the quick tests). The fact that we have the other package out there means that if we need to replace it, that replacement happens very fast.
We will update the metadata after all our testing is completed and we have sent the announement.
This sometimes results in packages without metadata, but also results in the fastest way we can push updates to the end user. If you see packages without metadata, ignore them unless we have also announced them.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes
