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! -- Vladimir
