how come? What's the difference between C5 and C4 fasttrack repo? I don't remember having any announcement.

The C4 fasttrack repo is built in sync with upstream, there is no fasttrack on C5 ( go look at mirror.centos.org ).

Karanbir,

Is there a reason why there is no fasttrack for CentOS-5 ? I do see packages available from Red Hat, although I cannot find any fastrack SRPMs directory on ftp.redhat.com.

I think that is the major reason... if the packages are not available from ftp.redhat.com, they are harder to say they are build from upstream.
