Here is my 2 cents.

I really appreciate all the people involved with the building and rebranding of 
redhat to create the centos distribution. If i had the time and dedication, I 
would definitely put forth the effort to help, but I cant, and therefore I dont 
complain about when updates get built. At times, to learn more about how things 
are done, I have downloaded the spec files and or src files and built several 
rpms to update my system. From what I learned, just looking through the spec 
and src files is time consuming, BUT building the files to create the RPMS is a 
whole other issue, which seems to take forever at times, depending on how many 
you are building. 

So all you people complaining about when the updates will be out, leave the 
guys alone, let them do their jobs and the updates will appear. So 
again.......in the meantime, if you want the updates quicker, LEARN TO DO IT 
YOURSELF and you will get a better understanding of what happens and why it can 
take so long to get the updates pushed out.


Thats my 2 cents and once again the people of who developed centOS, I 
appreciate all you do.
