Is anyone else seeing this situation?
I subscribe to the announce digest, and for the last four or five announcements that contained updates to CentOS 5, I've been unable to get a successful run of yum update for as much as 24 hours after the announcement. The last time around, I tried at about 5 hours after the posting, and yum couldn't see anything. I ran yum clean all, and yum update still couldn't see anything. In general, if I wait a day, the updates load just fine, but that just feels wrong.
I do have the fastestmirror plugin installed (and priorities).
Thanks.

Yes, I HAVE but no, I'm not. I really don't know what's different, either. The announcement is dated Fri, 19 Jun 2009 12:00:02 -0400 and at 13:25 -0500 (2.4 hours later) I see a new kernel, new kernel-devel, updated kernel-doc, updated kernel-headers and 6 updated user packages ready to go.
I regard the delay as "normal", current behavior to be an anomaly

That's about right, but it's now 19:38:xx -0700 (PDT) and I'm still not seeing them update.
Ok, I lied - I just did a yum clean all, and voila!
Still, it's annoying.... (I did that earlier and it made no difference.)
Thanks!

Some don't update that quickly, see: http://mirror-status.centos.org/

Yes, I see it too. The announcement says in it that the files are being released to the mirrors, not that they are available to download.
<quote> The following updated files have been uploaded and are currently syncing to the mirrors: </quote>
Some of the mirrors take a while to sync, or maybe don't check for updates as often as others do.

That makes a lot of sense.
Thanks!
