my list shows that mine comes from @base - you may need to check you 
.repo files to see that you have no excludes or priorities that lock 
this package out. the @cr repo only has a short life - not sure if that 
becomes an issue - I once used the continuous release system but got 
into trouble from memory when it migrated to the next point 
release.....YMMV
