I'm trying to setup a local mirror for internal use.
I've checked all the sites in the mirror list saying rsync is available and they all list for centos 6 2.6.32/current/kernel-2.6.32-feoktistov
but current according to http site is vzkernel-2.6.32-042stab044.11.

Why is it the rsync mirrors don't seem to be up to date?
Had similar problem with rsync from openvz.org and centos5 kernel.

and
http://download.openvz.org/kernel/branches/2.6.32/current/

and check the openvz.repo file:

thank you very much for the reply. rel6-2.6.32 does work much better. One would have to ask why the other is still around, but at least the openvz.repo file reveals the correct paths.

I think these old kernels are kept mostly for historic purposes, they are archived.

If you follow the links from the main openvz page (Downloads -> Kernel) than you'll see that vanilla 2.32 kernel is properly filed under "Obsoleted (no more maintained) branches".

The wiki "Downloads" page is even more explicit, saying that "These branches are not developed/supported anymore. They are here mostly for the historical reasons. Do not use."
