Hi,
How is the core SIG looking at improving and speeding up (more than one person) builds of updates? As I see it the longer the time between vendor release and CentOS release people know that we are hittable if they have a viable exploit?
I ask this as I see that the core SIG is not concentrating on the job at hand and concentrating on the work of their new masters - Red Hats CentOS? Their heads are in the cloud. ;-)
unsure if this is a troll post or you actually meant to raise tangiable concerns ?
I am in complete agreement.
7.3.1611 took 39 days from the upstream release which is 2 weeks longer than the previous el7 drops.
The latest https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2016-2946.html which is a critical update for firefox released on the 14th is still not released for CentOS 7 after 2 days.
It appears the core team have lost focus on what's important. The SIG stuff should be peripheral. The altarch stuff should be peripheral. Concentrate on what's important - it's the DISTRO. The rest of it may be nice to have but the important part is the core of the distro. Anything else is just distraction.

Total agreement.
