Re: [CentOS] Missing autofs update for C5?

Would it be possible to get some more information about how the update creation / pushing process actually works, e.g. a lot of updates are released by upstream at the same time for RHEL4 and RHEL5, but not for Centos 4 and Centos5? Upstream builds all their packages using a single system ( afaik ), and it goes through a qa process and is released at the same time. However, centos has typically had an independent buildprocess for each Arch / Release and different people have managed each process ( which is why you will find update notifications come from different people for different Arch/Release ). The reason for this has been that we never really had all the Arch capacity at one place and we work out of different timezones. So each person responsible for their targets did the work independently. Also some of the arch's like the s390 on CentOS-3 and 4 are built using emulators. Which means that updates can sometimes lag days behind i386. And it was decided at the time to not hold i386 up waiting for s390 to catchup. With CentOS-5, the entire build process is consolidated into one process, and as we add more arch's they will all come from the same process ( which is why you will notice that all centos-5 updates are pushed at the same time ). The emails announcing the update are still sent multiple times ( one for each Arch ) - since people have filters in place to only receive the update notifications they want. Starting with CentOS-4.4, it also uses the same process ( i386 and x86_64 ) as CentOS-5, but not for the other Arch's. Pasi - the maintainer for ia64 and s390 on CentOS-3 and 4 prefers not to change things at this juncture. Its my job to keep stuff ticking over in CentOS-5 land, so the fact that this autofs update was stuck, is completely my fault! Btw, there is an OpenOffice.org update that is also pending, and should be out by Monday midday UTC. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
