I noticed on the rhel errata page:
http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHEA-2008-0001.html
that they have made a configuration change to fontconfig for the liberation fonts. I have the liberation fonts installed via rebuild of fedora 8 src.rpm - including a fontconfig file. I'm guessing the update will come through CentOS at some point and I'm trying to make sure there isn't a file conflict with my rpm and the update that would prevent installation - but I can't seem to find the sources for rhel updates.
I'm kicking myself because I found them before, didn't bookmark them, but I can't seem to find them now.
http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/updates/enterprise/
doesn't seem to have anything for rhel5
The files in my f8 liberation rebuilt that I'm worried about conflicting with the update are:
/etc/X11/fontpath.d/liberation-fonts /etc/fonts/conf.d/59-liberation-fonts.conf
I'm a little bit amazed that they are including an update for a configuration for fonts they don't seem to package, not sure why they are doing it - that doesn't seem to be their style, but anyway, does anyone know who mirrors the rhel src.rpm updates for free software packages?

look again, seems to me liberation-fonts is incuded in el5/centos5, I have liberation-fonts-0.2-2.el5 here.

Ah yes - there it is. I stand corrected. yum list didn't show it for me because my version from Fedora 8 has a higher release number and they put it in 5.1 which was after I made mine.

Found them - ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Client/en/os/SRPMS/
Interesting they are not in an updates directory. Oh well.
