Hi,
is there any time frame foreseeable for KB providing an update for httpd?
Upstream provided their SRPM yesterday, i.e. Aug 31 19:40. [0] [1]
It builds flawless on several machines I tried (Scientific Linux 6, CentOS 5 and 6).
Question is: Should one deploy a self-build RPM or will there be an update in the next... "time"?
(Given that 5.7 is still to be done, 6.1, etc., and due to the fact there is "no such thing as a CentOS community", as was discussed end of 2010/early 2011. That's why I'm *not* going to provide my diff -- I'm not willing to spend my work into an entity that denies transparency.)
Cheers.

no one asked you to do anything. Also, because you cant get your head around things does not imply that no one else does.

That's exactly what I mean about the 'transparency' aspect. This was a very very big issue with impact on many many machines. Administrators sitting there waiting for that update, maybe sleepless because workarounds didn't do what they were supposed to do.
Regarding that update already being mirrored: No communication here. That's hilarious.

Where did I imply that?

Please remember excellent CENTOS is a FREE product produced by VOLUNTEERS.

First possibility: I don't get your sarcasm.
Second possibility: You don't remember the discussion about what the "community" in CentOS is around the first months of 2011.

Is that going to help fix the vulnerabilities on the bazillion installed Centos systems whose admins don't read to the end of every thread here and don't know anything about CR but are expecting 'yum update' to work as described?

Timo,
My comment was not intended to be sarcastic. It was a factual statement made by me because I am always aware how lucky we are to have a good, stable and reliable operating system created (or converted) and maintained by volunteers.
The volunteers have ordinary lives and paying jobs in addition to their voluntary tasks for Centos. They can have very busy days, sick days and problems with their paying work, family, friends and community et cetera which reduce the time and energy they have for their Centos volunteering. Despite this, I think the volunteers do a praise-worthy job which benefits all of us.
Being realistic, pragmatic and understanding is probably advantageous.
Mfg,
Paul.
