Oh ... so we are totally synced (pretty much the maximum allowed by trademark law) ... and we remain that way (at least in the base and updates repos) all the time. If you compare the centos-announce list: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/ with the RHEL-4 errata list: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/rhel4as-errata.html You will see that security updates are done, usually within 24 hours, of any security release upstream. When the Quarterly updates are done (now 2-4 times a year), we release the Security updates (RHSAs) immediately ... the Re-spinning of the ISOs usually takes 1-2 weeks to totally test out and release. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
