Re: umirr - a new mirror list service

 

We are moving forward with step four.  The DNS record for
dmirr.iuscommunity.org now points to mirrors.iuscommunity.org.  Please let us

We are moving forward with step three.  The new ius-release RPM will move to
the stable repos during tonight's automation run.  Please let us know if you see
