Hi,
Hello all,
last Friday (Oct 15) I encountered a weird issue relating to the libxml2* packages.
I have a script which monitors the CentOS mirrors to find new packages. On Friday, these showed up:
libxml2-2.9.1-6.el7.5.i686.rpm libxml2-2.9.1-6.el7.5.x86_64.rpm libxml2-devel-2.9.1-6.el7.5.i686.rpm libxml2-devel-2.9.1-6.el7.5.x86_64.rpm libxml2-python-2.9.1-6.el7.5.x86_64.rpm libxml2-static-2.9.1-6.el7.5.i686.rpm libxml2-static-2.9.1-6.el7.5.x86_64.rpm
However, looking at Scientific Linux (https://scientificlinux.org/category/sl-errata/slsa-20213810-1/) and Red Hat Errata (https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2021:3810) it seems that CentOS is one release behind (el7.5 from CentOS vs. el7.6 for SL and RHEL).
Yes, it seems the newest package has not been built from current GIT.
What's also strange is that I see libxml2 two times, in centos/7.9.2009/updates/x86_64/Packages/ and in centos/7.9.2009/os/x86_64/Packages/. Both with identical version but _different_ builds.
Maybe some automated thing which went wrong?
Regards, Simon
