Hi list, I'm currently looking at the sources for CentOS 7.2 (at the vault), because I want to rebuild them for armv5 (redsleeve). I think that I saw some irregularities, which I wanted to share with you. First, there is no repodata for the os section of 7.2 (http://vault.centos.org/7.2.1511/os/Source/) I think that all other directories do have that. (this is something I often use, in combination with repodiff to get a list of srpms to download) To work around this I downloaded all and created my own repo for the scripts to work on. Second, there are a couple of srpms that are older than those present in 7.1 (with updates). Here is the relevant part of a repodiff between 7.1 (+ updates) and 7.2 (+ updates): Downgraded Packages: firefox: firefox-38.4.0-1.el7.centos -> firefox-38.3.0-2.el7.centos gmp: gmp-6.0.0-12.el7_1 -> gmp-6.0.0-11.el7 java-1.6.0-openjdk: java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.37-1.13.9.4.el7_1 -> java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.36-1.13.8.1.el7_1 ksh: ksh-20120801-22.el7_1.3 -> ksh-20120801-22.el7_1.2 libreswan: libreswan-3.15-5.el7_1 -> libreswan-3.12-10.1.el7_1 postgresql: postgresql-9.2.14-1.el7_1 -> postgresql-9.2.13-1.el7_1 Third, I found a couple of srpms with a time stamp before 2015-11-19 (GA date of RHEL 7.2) which are not in 7.1. I get the impression that they should have been updates to 7.1, but somehow never made it. When I sampled a couple, I also could not find an advisory for them on rhn. The following list might not be complete: cronie-1.4.11-14.el7.src.rpm docbook-style-dsssl-1.79-18.el7.src.rpm filesystem-3.2-20.el7.src.rpm gzip-1.5-8.el7.src.rpm kross-interpreters-4.10.5-8.el7.src.rpm less-458-9.el7.src.rpm liberation-fonts-1.07.2-15.el7.src.rpm libkkc-0.3.1-8.el7.src.rpm libmemcached-1.0.16-5.el7.src.rpm libproxy-0.4.11-8.el7.src.rpm libtar-1.2.11-29.el7.src.rpm maven-dependency-tree-2.0-7.el7.src.rpm paps-0.6.8-28.el7.1.src.rpm perl-Date-Calc-6.3-14.el7.src.rpm perl-Test-Harness-3.28-3.el7.src.rpm perl-Test-Pod-Coverage-1.08-21.el7.src.rpm perl-Test-Warn-0.24-6.el7.src.rpm phonon-4.6.0-10.el7.src.rpm python-pyudev-0.15-7.el7.src.rpm python-setuptools-0.9.8-4.el7.src.rpm python-sphinx-1.1.3-9.el7.src.rpm python-sqlalchemy-0.9.8-1.el7.src.rpm radvd-1.9.2-9.el7.src.rpm screen-4.1.0-0.21.20120314git3c2946.el7.src.rpm setup-2.8.71-6.el7.src.rpm spamassassin-3.4.0-2.el7.src.rpm star-1.5.2-13.el7.src.rpm unixODBC-2.3.1-11.el7.src.rpm xz-5.1.2-12alpha.el7.src.rpm yum-langpacks-0.4.2-4.el7.src.rpm Fourth, the extras directory seems not to be complete. I have the impression that the extras from 7.1 and 7.0 should also have been here (or maybe just a few of them) At the very least mock/pigz should be here, but also some of the python packages that are needed to build the 7.0 srpms should still be here I think. Fifth, I miss some packages in extras. python-cryptography won't build because it needs some dependencies. Apparently the deps are not shipped by RH, so they should have been in extras. The missing deps are: python-cryptography-vectors = 0.8.2 python-iso8601 python-pretend (and maybe stuff that's needed to build those) These items are all things that I can work around, but I just wanted to share my findings. Thanks for all the good work on CentOS, Jacco
