If you wish to sync from me before the official release, the path is: rsync://mirror.chpc.utah.edu/CentOS-hidden/ (this path also includes the DVD images; if you don't want them, exclude *DVD*.iso).
I really don't understand this -- we have had mirror skew with a last minute add on fix in the past, and people clearly do monitor this list trying to 'get a jump' on the 'latest' and then whine publicly when they get bitten.
How is this a win to try to 'outsmart' the release managers' permissions bit flip?
You are incorrectly assigning a motive to my action. If I was trying to outsmart anyone, I would like to think I'd have done a better job of it.
My motive was to aid the mirrors who sync from me (I believe that there are some official mirrors that do so, since I have the DVD images and lots of bandwidth).
If the CentOS maintainers wish me to refrain from such action in the future, I will of course do so.
