[CentOS-devel] SRPMS for CentOS4

[John Summerfield]

I use up2date in preference to yum simply because it automates the 
process of getting matching source.
[summer at bilby ~]$ root cdm up2date -fud

However, it seems to fairly reliably get the source on the next attempt, 
having reliably failed the first:

What's going on here?
