Unless I'm mistaken, does it look like Centos 4.7 is missing an update released on December 3rd 2008?

Upstream details :- http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2008-0989.html

An updated tmpwatch package that fixes various bugs is now available.

The tmpwatch utility recursively searches through specified directories and removes files which have not been accessed in a specified period of time. tmpwatch is typically enabled and configured to clean up directories used for temporarily holding files, such as, for example, the /tmp directory.

This updated tmpwatch package includes fixes for the following bugs:

• tmpwatch unnecessarily reported a "No such file or directory" error

whenever a file was deleted before tmpwatch accessed it. In this updated package, tmpwatch correctly no longer reports such errors, thus resolving the issue.

That is part of the fasttrack repo and not part of the main RHN (or CenetOS repo).

I will build it soon, but it we don't build fasttrack for every CentOS version (ie, not for C5 for example).

OK, all of the fastrack RPMS (for CentOS 4 only) are now on the CentOS master mirror and should be synced to all the CentOS mirrors shortly.

These RPMS are built from the upstream fastrack channel and are specifically not part of the default upstream channels and MUST be subscribed to separately, the same is true for CentOS as well. Here is a list of the upstream fastrack updates for EL 4:

(Note: rdesktop is now superseded by the version in the main repo)

You can not install these via yum unless you add the FastTrack repository to your configuration. See this link for details (Look for the "CentOS-Fasttrack" section:

Wait for the devs to confirm but I hacked together a line and added it to CentOS-Base.repo (instead of a separate fastrack.repo) file which is missing from the mirror.

[fasttrack] name=CentOS-4 - fasttrack mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&rep... #baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/fasttrack/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 enabled=1 gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-centos4 priority=1

Turns out that those files are in /4.6/ and need to be copied over to /4.7/ . As a *temporary* fix, I hardcoded the links on the wiki by changing the "4" with "4.6".

This is now fixed on the master server, thanks Akemi.

The files should be on mirror.centos.org shortly.

Thanks, Johnny Hughes
