Note that I use up2date to get the source for the packages I'm updating, not just arbitrary packages as in that example. The immediate problem, though, is this: An HTTP error occurred: URL: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/i386//SRPMS/grub-0.95-3.8.src.rpm Status Code: 404 Error Message: Not Found and I expect that yumdownloader would suffer the same problem. Since I can (usually if not always) get the src.rpm on the next attempt, I'm wondering whether there's a problem with the mirror infrastructure. -- Cheers John -- spambait 1aaaaaaa at coco.merseine.nu Z1aaaaaaa at coco.merseine.nu Please do not reply off-list
