All, The 4.8 directory is moving to the mirrors. It currently has 770 permissions to prevent people from seeing it in our apache directories.
Once we have a hundred or so updated machines outside the centos infrastructure (in a day or so) then we will shift the permission to 775 and start building mirrorlists and isolists.
I expect to announce the 4.8 release on Friday August 21, 2009 in the afternoon.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes

mirror.chpc.utah.edu now has the complete 4.8 tree.
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?

Russ,
I have recently flipped the bit to on, so it is likely now a moot point.

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.
