Hi,
I have downloaded and installed centos 4.1 from DVD and I a little confused with the update procedure.
The faq from the centos.org site mentions something like 72 hrs (or less) from one security update to goes from the sources.rpm from rh to centos.
I was cheking rh's site (https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/rhel4as-errata.html) and saw one update to mysql (https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/rhel4as-errata.html) that I can't get using yum upgrade.
For example. My mysql is mysql.i386 0:4.1.10a-2.RHEL4.1 and rh is mysql-4.1.12-3.RHEL4.1.src.rpm..
I am using the standard yum.conf/yum.repos.d.
Is this a mirror problem or it is taking longer than expected for the updates to be available ?
tks.

CentOS is made, for free, by a group of volunteers. They generously donate their time, their computers and their bandwidth to the community at large, for which I profusely thank them.
If you need the top service of RedHat, which I also thank for not only developing a great product but making possible to have CentOS and others, then you can subscribe to RedHat carpet service.
I would just like to point out that usually updates are received within 72 hours or less!! CentOS 4 U2 , this will be a major job for Johnny and the other guys,but I have no doubt it will be up to their usual high standard. Perhaps i have read this and recent posts incorrectly....folks seem to be complaining about a product they get for free and probably do not contribute towards....perhaps some perspective is required and less neediness? Just my thoughts Great job guys!!

Thanks ...
The faq states that normal releases of security errata will be within 72 hours and that update sets (like EL4 update 2) will be completed within 2 weeks ...
http://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=7
Updates that did not include dependencies from the Bugfix and Enhancement packages included in the update 2 update set were released within 72 hours ... the others are rolled into the 4.2 update (the aka - update 2 release set). 2 weeks will be 19 October (6 days from now).
We are well within the guidelines stated.
See how long it takes for the other rebuild projects to release a bootable ISO and all the updates for the el4 update 2 release cycle :)
Then see how many do that for 6 different arches {that would be zero} :)
Our announcement will follow shortly for all our arches (i386, x86_64, s390, s390x, ia64, alpha) and the el4 update 2 set.
Our mirrors are currently buried ... as one would expect when syncing out 6 arches for CentOS-4.2 and some of he CentOS-3.6 tree as well. It may take 1 to 2 days for this to become available on all mirrors.
Many thanks go out to the whole CentOS-4 development team for all the hard work and testing to get all these arches out a week early ... thanks Karanbir and Pasi.

I just wanted to say to the whole CentOS development team: thank you!, for the great job you are doing with CentOS. It's a really fine distro and your work is really great. It's the only reason I came back to the .rpm world... All the respect for Fedora too, but that just wasn't a distro to put on a server... so I left Redhat like distros for about two years, and didn't look back. Not until I found CentOS :) Great job! GREAT!
Thank you, Alex
