[CentOS-devel] C5.6 missing package updates / package naming issues

[Bernd Bartmann]

Hi,

first I'd like to thank you for finally provinding C5.6!

After updating several servers to C5.6 I checked the installed RPMS
against the list of update announcements from upstream. Some updates
seem to be missing and some seem to have package naming issues:


Missing updates:

- libuser
C5.6 as of today has libuser-0.54.7-2.1.el5_4.1
Upstream announced libuser-0.54.7-2.1.el5_5.2

- java-1.6.0-openjdk
C5.6 as of today has java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-1.16.b17.el5

For the following I'm not sure if these are really missing updates or
just different namings in the upstream and Centos RPMS:
