I don't think you are querying CentOS-2 but for the record, patches for
CentOS-2 should be available on mirror.centos.org within 24 hours of the
srpm becoming available.
There are a number of steps which can stall this process. Redhat
releasing the srpm. The srpm getting to a mirror in Australia. Me
downloading from the mirror. Me checking what has changed and making
modifications if necessary. Me building & testing the update. Me
uploading to mirror.centos.org.
If you are lucky, all this will happen while you are sleeping and in the
morning there will be a shiny new update to install. :)
All the CentOS-2 updates are in the centos-2/updates directory, even the
ones which are included on the install CD.
