[BlueOnyx:27216] Re: 5209R upgrades

[Ernie]

Hi Michael,
that seems to have worked, there is a yum update in progress.

I wonder how many other people got caught over the past month with the
takedown of mirrorlist.centos.org ? It's not only a hassle for 5209R but all
sorts of CentOS 7 based projects around the world. I don't mind if something
goes EOL, but to disable access to the last supported releases is weird.

As usual you are a life saver Michael.
Thanks

- Ernie.
