CentOS-2 update 5 is about to be released. As of update 5, Netscape 4.8 will be removed from the distribution. The currently shipped version of Netscape 4.8 has security flaws and should not be used.
Users of CentOS-2 should uninstall the Netscape packages and switch to using mozilla. For more information see RHSA-2004:429-01
Also, in order to easily identify packages which have been modified for CentOS-2, the release suffix .c2.release will be appended to the existing release. All packages which currently are missing this suffix will be reissued with the new suffix. The suffix release will always start at 1 and be incremented if a package needs to be reissues with only centos changes. When the original release is increased, the centos release will start again at 1.
This is part of a new automated procedure which should result in reproducible modifications which will speed up the release of errata for modified packages and cut down on errors in the modification process.
