Fedora 9 Updating

[Richard-BKK]

I find it straights that after maybe a month or even longer of not checking updates on one of our Fedora 9 workstations we get the message no updates?

Anybody else the same problem?

Red Hat and Fedora had some big intrusion into their servers and took lots of stuff offline last month. I think what you are seeing is the natural result of the disruptions and the shift of attention by the projects to reviewing their status, rebuilding servers, and making sure the event did not turn into a compromise of all our end-user systems (by distributing tampered packages or updates). Looking at a major mirror site, I don't see any Fedora 9 update packages dated newer than August 11.

You can read more on the Fedora project wiki, which includes links to their emailed status messages about this unusual event.

Yep, SSH was the application that was compromised; I don't think the issue is relegated to just RedHat.

Nope, but I never use the system update. I go through terminal -> su -> yum update

It gives me weekly several MBs. Occasionally I try only Fedora specific: yum update fedora-release

Hope it helps.
