Hello everybody.

I wonder why SL6 (with installed yum-conf-sl6x and yum-conf-sl-other and
turned on fastbugs) is missing lots of various updates from TUV.

For example, bug fix updates to curl, glibc, binutils, portreserve,
xmlrpc-c
http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2011-1284.html
http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2011-1255.html
http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2011-1179.html
http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2011-1186.html
http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2011-1285.html

Glibc update is almost 1 month old, for example; corresponding SRPMS of
glibc, binutils and others are freely available, however no SL repos
include these.

There is also whole bunch of fasttrack updates which, as I thought, were
supposed to appear in fastbugs SL6 repo but they don't. SRPMS for (at
least most) of these are avaliable too.
>From the list on
http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/rhel-server-fastrack-6-errata.html?by=date
I can see lots of packages like
cpufrequtils
libcgroup
powertop
tmpwatch
smartmontools
vte
newt
qt
setup
doxygen
sudo
tuned
mingetty
DeviceKit-power
attr
perl-Net-DNS
qt3
file

which aren't in SL repos. (there are maybe some others, too)


My question is very simple, if this situation is under control and these
updates will appear in SL at some point, or something broke and they
were missed out and thus won't be rebuilt until someone will fix
building process or somethings. I can see that some of updates from
"bug fix" category and fasttrack updates get rebuilt for SL - for
example "bug fix" for selinux-policy appeared in repos, but older "bug
fix" glibc update didn't.

Thanks!
