Update on Red Hat Network Failure

A kind soul over at Red Hat sent me an email to let me know they were aware of the issue covered in my recent RHN rant. The issue is being worked on and the individual also pointed me to the following note sent to the RHEL 5 mailing list:

After digging into this a bit more it looks like the “”Error: failed to retrieve repodata/primary.xml.gz from rhel-x86_64-server-5″ error is part of an issue on RHN. This will also be addressed by the fix going out next week.

Thanks to the individual who emailed me and thanks to Red Hat for working on this.
