Re: [CentOS] Lots of Centos 5.2 updates already

I just completed my first 5.2 install. For 'completeness' I 'tested out' yum update.

Guess what? For this minimum install, there were 43Mb of updates to download.

So I went over to my local repo server and setup a /centos/5.2/updates directory and started the rsync to get all the updates:

155 files taking up 943Mb. Already. Wow! Perhaps something to do with the initial build problem? But anyone that does an install from the CDs/DVD and includes OpenOffice, then turns around and updates, is in for a scary supprise. Yet another reason for the local repos....

I thought the 'updates' directory contained updates for everything from 5.0 forward ?
