Don't forget your repo may be lagging. Try a  couple of different repos (ONE at a time, or else you'll have to run dupeclean). Also, for a donation of $25 or more, you get access to the PASS, which posts updates sooner than for the hoi poloi.

There is activity in the repo. There is a new directory under pclinuxos/apt it is 2010 and main is the only directory in it so far. You won't see any thing in synaptic. I used gFTP to look at the repo and saw the new directory.

Dont use the packages in  the 2010 repo with the 2009 release. It will severely break your install.

Thanks to everyone who donates. You keep the servers running.

When Microsoft is slow to update it means they're either desperately trying to plug yet another security hole or they're figuring out how to disguise said hole as a feature and then charge you extra for it.

When PCLOS is slow to update, it means your system is fine for now. Embrace the relaxation that comes from being fine for now. (helpful smile)

I figured it was way to early to mess with the new directory.
