Hello everyone,
In the 6.0 release, I have found a gap in the provided source under the SRPMS/ directories on the mirrors.
Let's take the 'bash' source as the first example. The version of bash that I find in the binary x86_64 directories is: http://mirror.centos.org/centos-6/6.0/os/x86_64/Packages/bash-4.1.2-3.el6.x8...
One would expect to find the source to that binary at: http://mirror.centos.org/centos-6/6.0/os/x86_64/Packages/bash-4.1.2-3.el6.sr...
However, it does not exist. I have looked on many mirrors, all with the same result, which leads me to believe that this is simply missing on all CentOS mirrors.
I have checked other distributions to see if the result is consistent, but Red Hat provides the SRPMS in their repository: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/linux/enterprise/6Server/en/os/SRPMS/bash-4.1.2-3.el6.src.rpm
As do other rebuild-distributions like Scientific Linux: http://mirrors.200p-sf.sonic.net/scientific/6.0/SRPMS/vendor/bash-4.1.2-3.el...
I have noticed this same anomoly with the following packages:
bash coreutils iptables libselinux mod_auth_kerb nss redhat-logos
There may be others as well, but I have not checked the entire distribution.
Is this a mistake? Or is there a reason that these are left out? I searched the forums and found this thread, but it offers no real solution: https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=143030&topic_...
Also, there doesn't appear to be any source available for the CR repository. Is there any place I can find these? Or am I just supposed to fetch them from upstream?
OK ... we are going to push the missing 6.0/os/SRPMS into the tree after they are signed later ... but in the mean time, you can get them from here if you can't wait:
http://people.centos.org/hughesjr/missing-srpms/os/
(those are not signed, but I just gathered them up)
We should get another batch of SRPMS into vault for CR as well later today or tomorrow:
