I run yum update to latest on SL5.0. After successful update to SL5.8
some packages disappeared such as mysql-server and php support.
Can somebody explain such strange behavior?

2) When I run update from Centos I also updating the release number.
For example:
from Centos 5.2
yum update
I'll get Centos 5.8
and SL doesn't raises the release version ?
That's documented here:
SL 6.x:
<http://www.scientificlinux.org/documentation/howto/upgrade.6x>
SL 5.x:
<http://www.scientificlinux.org/documentation/howto/upgrade.5x>
Unless you have installed the yum-conf-sl6x package (on SL6.x), you
won't upgrade the minor version of the distro automatically. So in that
case, you need to do it explicit as described above.
