I see that there are no updates available since the build.
I hope that soon we will be getting updates. It is one thing to put up a simple web server. For my DNS server, I want to know I am getting somewhat regular bind updates.
Also as I previously mentioned I have found programs that are not in the base like spamassasin.
The bigger project is getting activity on epel for arm so we can do a decent mail server.
thanks!
Are we missing updates ? Afaik we're up2date with updates. The only newer packages that appeared for x86_64 si are kernel/grub2, which we don't use.
For specific packages missing from http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7.2.1511/os/armhfp/ , reaons can be that :
- package failed to build
- package built succesfully, but depends itself on failed package[s]
Dont forget that , for repoclosure, all built package but having deps on missing packages, weren't included in the os repository pushed to mirror.centos.org
For Spamassassin, I see that it built for C.7.1503 : http://armv7.dev.centos.org/repodir/c7-pass-1/spamassassin/3.4.0-1.el7/armv7...
So now you can chase after the missing Requires: pkgs, see what's the build issue, and propose a fix/patch ;-)

It is not in the repo, either base or updates.
what Fabian meant was that for packages which are not in the 7.2 repos yet, you should start looking for them in the buildlogs of the older release(s) -- 7.1.1503 in the particular case of SA. Download the package from the URL pointed to by Fabian, add it to your local repo, retry installing. wash, rinse, repeat for any deps that arise.
