Greetings ...
just thought I would point out or ask, if there might be an easy way
for yum to figure out that the meta data might be out of sync ... Every
now and again I get something like the following ...
[leet at clee-taylor-64 ~]$ sudo yum -y update

Which to me would mean that not every mirror has caught up with updates
... What I think yum should figure out, is that a few mirrors with the
same primary.xml.gz file would mean that they are a little behind.
Instead of going around in circles, should it not retry from the top again?
Thanks

P.S. Still one of the most excellent little helpers ...
