Up to date urpmi sources?


For Mandrake 10.1, I've only found this place for my rpm sources.
http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/

Is this a pretty good place to find up-to-date stuff? How often is it typically updated? Is every server/location the same, in terms of files and updates?

Also, are there other sites that I can add to my urpmi list? I've recently found Thacs http://rpm.nyvalls.se/ which is really nice. Any others?

The ones at easyurpmi are the official Mandrake and PLF repositories. Others probably have their own so do a google search and also checkout pclinuxonline, there used to be a good list there. As for the urpmi sources being updated, you have to manually do this once in a while by running "urpmi.update -a" as root, so that you can access the latest packages from the mirrors.
