<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Can someone explain
what's going on with the kernel? The kernel-4.18.0-80.7.1
package is the latest available via the repos, despite
kernel-4.18.0-80.11.2 having been compiled 16 days ago.
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://koji.mbox.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=4562">https://koji.mbox.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=4562</a>) The
koji downloads appear to still be blocked.</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">The kernel-4.18.0-144
kernel used to be available via the Stream-BaseOS repo, but it
no longer appears to be showing up. The package is still
available for download, but it doesn't appear via dnf (although
it has previously). I suspect the package was removed from the
repo metadata, but the rpm file remains.

</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">To make things even
more confusing, the kernel-4.18.0-80.7.2 package was compiled a
few days ago. And like the newer kernel-4.18.0-80.11.2, appears
to have never been pushed to the repos.

</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">So my question is why
is kernel-4.18.0-80.11.2 available? Why was the older </font><font
face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">kernel-4.18.0-80.7.2 built,
and then never released? Is there an issue with these packages
in need of fixing, or it simply a bug in the release/repo
process?<br>
