It is being built and will be tested soon. well in fact 3.4 will actually go to 3/ and we will be moving the old repos for 3.1 & 3.3 to an old-updates directory that isnt mirrored. 3.1 & 3.3 will become symlinks to 3/ and anyone that updates will get 3.4 centos-release will have version 3/ and epoch 2 to facilitate this transition. This is to become dag compatible and to make updates easier. Lance -- uklinux.net - The ISP of choice for the discerning Linux user.
