Definitely not a good thing as we’re coming up on the release of v7 which has been sparking some discussion on their mirrorlist.

Google appears to have dropped all but their A record from the domain now too.

This would make sense, I’m sure I saw RedHat acquired CentOS recently or took over the project.

 As long as it is in a transfer state the name servers cannot be updated, for a .org domain this is typically 5 days. Though it’s possible to expedite the process if the sending registrar releases the domain.

 Looking at the whois information is likely redhat have taken administrative control over the domain.

 I gave redhat a courtesy call but couldn’t get passed their CS reps so hopefully they have someone on list.

 Once these DNS changes have finished propagating (all hell breaks loose), I’m sure right people will notice or be notified.

 If you don’t want to be affected I’d recommend creating a master zone for centos.org<http://centos.org> based on the current caches on Google’s resolvers and deploying this to your own resolvers if you can do so, until they have set the name servers again.

Thats not good for anybody using any CentOS... as this means yum will no longer function unless you have a static yum.repo file configured

I think its time we need an Australian master mirror and mirrorlists :D
