Hi,
By popular request there is now a local (to BitFolk) Centos 5
mirror. To use it, add a file /etc/yum.repos.d/bitfolk.repo that
contains:
[base]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Base
baseurl=
http://mirror.bitfolk.com/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5
[updates]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Updates
baseurl=
http://mirror.bitfolk.com/centos/$releasever/updates/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5
You may then wish to comment out the "[base]" and "[updates]"
sections of any other .repo file in there.
You should then run "yum clean all" before updating, to clear the
cache and force an update of the repository xml files.
Traffic from this mirror will not count against your monthly quotas.
Thanks to Paul Lewis for assistance testing this.
Cheers,
Andy
