hi, in 5.2 there is a yum-cron in the os dir, but there is a yum-cron only in extras/x86_64 too (not in i386). at the same time in 5.3 there is no yum-cron in the os dir, but there is yum-cron only in extras/x86_64 too (not in i386). at the same time there is a yum-cron in epel-5 too. so imho it'd be useful to clean up this situation.
We dont really have much interest here as to what EPEL or any other third party repo is doing - you will need to chase it up with them.
The reason why we carried it in 5.0 etc was since yum-updatesd didnt really do much. If there is anyway to make yum-updatesd run its updates at a specific time, that would completely remove the need / role for yum-cron. Which might be the best result allaround anyway.
may be i was not specific enough, so then the questions are: - in 5.2 why yum-cron in extras/x86_64 if it's in os already? - in 5.3 why yum-cron only in extras/x86_64 but not in extras/i386? imho both the above is a bug.
