hi, why are kernel modules which build for 6.5 are in the 6.6 updates directory? rh usually release kmod rpms only in case when they don't want to change kernel package in a . release. but in this case kmod packages build for 6.5 in the 6.6 updates directory. does it have any good reason?
kmod-hpsa-3.4.4_1_RH1-1.el6_5.x86_64.rpm kmod-megaraid_sas-06.803.01.00_rh1-1.el6_5.x86_64.rpm kmod-memstick_dup-0.1_rh1-1.el6_5.x86_64.rpm kmod-mmc_block_dup-0.1_rh1-1.el6_5.x86_64.rpm kmod-mmc_core_dup-0.1_rh1-1.el6_5.x86_64.rpm kmod-oracleasm-2.0.8-4.el6_6.x86_64.rpm kmod-rtsx_pci-0.1_rh1-1.el6_5.x86_64.rpm kmod-rtsx_pci_ms-0.1_rh1-1.el6_5.x86_64.rpm kmod-rtsx_pci_sdmmc-0.1_rh1-1.el6_5.x86_64.rpm
any response from the centos team?

My only response is that they will only install when you meet the requirements and they are in the active RHEL tree, and they don't cause closure problems there.
In RHEL, all old packages are still available to users and these don't hurt anything also in this repo. They are also in the 6.5 updates repo.
In testing, we needed them for some reason, so they were added.
Are they in some way causing you a problem?
it's currently in the updates directory not in the os with this reasoning all package in all previous updates directory should have to go into 6.6's update directory!? what's more these kernel modules already included in the latest kernel packages! eg: rtsx_pci.ko

Sure, but are they causing you any PROBLEMS there? If not, then I see no need to move them now. Stuff happens.

To put it another way .. those kmods are here:
http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/latest/x86_64/
and they are in the rolling Scientific Linux build.
They are causing no issues there or as far as I can see they are causing no issue where they are in our tree.
They will not be moved over when we upgrade to the next version .. so, are they causing you any issues?
I agree they likely could be removed and probably should not have been included, but at this point I am inclined to leave them where they are.
