[CentOS-devel] Errata in the Repo

[Steven Crothers]

Sorry KB, I thought it was obvious from Fedora (but I forget not all
CentOS users are Fedora users and vice versa).

"errata in the repo" means this:
http://mirror.steadfast.net/epel/7/x86_64/repodata/673013755b70ab1c50a53bae58d36a2321005e5f0122c215a412c4b855d78e94-updateinfo.xml.gz

The errata data is packaged into the yum repository into the repodata
folder, making things like Spacewalk automatically import errata on
each mirror sync. Also provides some extra features with yum for
viewing this data (and later DNF, I think?).

It's more of a convenience or "nice to have" feature.
