2.6.24 not in the mirrors?

Hello;

Back after long absence.  I am active on LinuxQuestions.org (same username), but have not been here for many moons.

I just tripped across the news item on the release of kernel 2.6.24, but I could not find it in any of several mirrors.  I finally found it on the main site, but noticed that the headers don't match.

Pacman -Sl|grep kernel:
core kernel-headers 2.6.23.1-2
core kernel26 2.6.24.1-2

pacman.d/core:
Server = ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/core/os/i686

Welcome back.

2.6.24 was released into core five days ago. If the mirrors that you looked at haven't synced yet...

And yes, the kernel headers don't match the kernel in name. Everything builds fine against those headers though so it's a non-issue.

Well, the kernel update has been oout for many days now...  Have you updated you pacman database (pacman -Sy)?

Also, it is good to use a different mirror than ftp.archlinux.org as it saves the distro some bandwidth.  Look in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and change to a mirror close to you.  Edit: I see you only did that for testing...

Re: 2.6.24 not in the mirrors?

I was using "mirror.unixheads" when I noted the issue.  I also tried one other before going to "home base"

I just tried again with 3 core sources enabled:
unixheads
gatech
ibiblio

pacman -Sy
pacman -Sl|grep kernel

2.6.24 is not there

Ahem.....
pacman -Sl|grep kernel will find kernel26

When I enable the main repo ,  2.6.24 is there

I'm sorry. Dumb mistake.
