But it is not clear to me why there was no announcement from CentOS, at least I can not find it. I am subscribed to centos-announce and I had a look at http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2012-August/thread.html too.
Correct .. both of these are branding only with no upstream announce.
This implies that only "with upstream announce"-updates are announced? I think that CentOS should announce every update on the centos-announce list.
I am working on a way to do that now. Expect the announcements soon.
The issue is, I have no way to have an index number. I can't use the next one or it will step on the next upstream update. We are figuring out how we can do this and still make it work with our upcoming yum-security release too.
This is something that we do very infrequently, but now that we are also going to do yum-security, it is something we need to do correctly.
I would point out that Red Hat only announces security updates on their list, not BA's or EA's, and no one seems to have a problem with that :)
