Hi,
Just a quick note to see if anyone else noted the changes in yum in the updates. I've disabled thhe new format until i can verify if it works? As i rebuilt yumex from Scientific Linux (RHEL SRPM rebuild) and i have not enabled centosplus i don't wanna mess my system.
I don't believe you can browse the new mirrors.

I think you'll find that we wouldnt have released it unless it had been tested ...

Why not - they are the same old mirrors - all that happens is that yum gets a lost of local up to date mirrors for the release/repo/arch from the mirrorlist server on port 81 - chosen solely so that we can run it on the same server as normal apache on port 80.
If you have fastestmirror plugin enabld yum will then test the mirrors and use the fastest local connection.
The version of yumex that we have at dev.centos.org alsouses the same mirrorlist system.

There are no new mirrors on port 81 ... just a list of mirrors.
Browse to: http://mirrorlist.centos.org:81/?release=4&arch=i386&repo=updates
Does it say centosplus is enabled or disabled in your file? (should be disabled)
There is no difference than before, except the list of servers is dynamic.
All the mirrors are ones that are listed here: http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=13
All the mirrors have a verified repodata file.
