is compiled as a module in mdk, against this advice, perhaps the

Oh well, I'm used to the change now so I suppose it should no longer be
considered a bug. Going to try and resolve as FIXED, but if I cannot do it,
hope someone else will.
The main mirror sunsite.uio.no is not current again. It has not received
an update in over 2 days!!!
What is causing this? I do not remember having this many mirror problems
with cooker before 9.1 was released.
How can cooker be tested when the main source for download is constantly
having
l tested product, and keep
Mandrake in the headlines for the right reasons. By definition cooker is
the test ground for that purpose.
Question, how can we test something like urpmi using ftp before the
"customers" get hold of it if the sites are not stable at any time?
