Tru's right. It not only depends on ecryptfs-utils but other new
packages. It's right it builds fine, but finally depends on a lot of new
modules. Some:
%define kernel_dot_org_conflicts ppp < 2.4.3-3, isdn4k-utils < 3.2-32,
nfs-utils < 1.0.7-12, e2fsprogs < 1.37-4, util-linux < 2.12, jfsutils <
1.1.7-2, reiserfs-utils < 3.6.19-2, xfsprogs < 2.6.13-4, procps <
3.2.5-6.3, oprofile < 0.9.1-2
%define package_conflicts initscripts < 7.23, udev < 063-6, iptables <
1.3.2-1, ipw2200-firmware < 2.4, selinux-policy-targeted < 1.25.3-14,
ecryptfs-utils < 44, cpuspeed < 1.2.1-5
Milan, you can try yourself testing kernel here:
http://fs12.vsb.cz/hrb33/el5/hrb-kernel/stable/x86_64/repodata/
http://fs12.vsb.cz/hrb33/el5/hrb-kernel/stable/i386/repodata/
I'd like to point out one thing. I do want to thank to Centos developers
they have changed update build process. Even that there is 5.3 rebuild
process ongoing, they are releasing security updates for C{3,4,5} and I
like it. This is a new behavior, because every time they had been
rebuilding new distro version, security updates process got stucked. So,
thank you Pasi and Tru.
Regards,
David

So afaik there will be no newer kernel until 5.3 is released.

[CentOS] Security update missing - kernel-2.6.18-128.el5
Please, do not delay this "Important" multiple security update. See https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2009-0225.html for more info. This update is "5.3" kernel but has been released as security update too. RHN pushed this kernel one day ahead of rest of 5.3 packages (on my servers). RH maintains API and ABI (!) compatibility so there is no problem to use this kernel AFAIK. So please, do not delay it anymore, this contains multiple security vulnerabilities fixed since 2009-01-20. Thank you for your effort (a lot).
