Hello, I've noticed that there haven't been any updates to centos-announce (or in Yum) for CentOS 5 since January 6th (that might be the 5th for a lot of you, I'm at +11:00 UTC). Since then, however, Red Hat have released the following updates for RHEL 5:
Critical:
https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-0169.html
Important:
https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-0017.html https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-0163.html https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-0182.html
Moderate:
https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-0013.html https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-0152.html https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-0153.html https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-0154.html https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-0170.html https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-0176.html https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-0180.html
Low:
https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-0025.html https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-0027.html https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-0028.html
Does anyone have any idea when we might see these? In particular the kernel updates, but really all security updates are important. Not all of these are security updates, but enough of them are to be of some concern.

Work is currently ongoing on QA for 5.6 ... once that is out then you'll start seeing the other updates that depend on that.

Ah, so that's what it is. I had kind of assumed everyone had been distracted by work on CentOS 6, until I saw the recent massive update to CentOS 4.
Thanks.

Centos6 is pretty much on hold until 5.6 is out the door due to the number of systems it has an impact on (ie no existing C6 systems to update and many many C5 ones).

Now that is excellent news; exactly what I wanted to hear.

This is irrelevant to CentOS, its an RHEL update; if there was to be a critical or a remotely exploiteable issue that comes up we would then do a release into 5.5, but mostly things are now building /linking into 5.6, so releasing those with out the deps they build against might cause interesting issue.
if there is specific concern about the kernel's released, those can be pushed into the c5-testing repo for early adopters..

Fair enough. I must admit to not caring as much about the Java stuff anyway, I was mainly collating a list of notices which might correspond. I use the RH lists to give myself an idea of what is likely to appear from CentOS.

Good to know, thanks.
