Thanks ... The faq states that normal releases of security errata will be within 72 hours and that update sets (like EL4 update 2) will be completed within 2 weeks ... http://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=7 Updates that did not include dependencies from the Bugfix and Enhancement packages included in the update 2 update set were released within 72 hours ... the others are rolled into the 4.2 update (the aka - update 2 release set). 2 weeks will be 19 October (6 days from now). We are well within the guidelines stated. See how long it takes for the other rebuild projects to release a bootable ISO and all the updates for the el4 update 2 release cycle :) Then see how many do that for 6 different arches {that would be zero} :) Our announcement will follow shortly for all our arches (i386, x86_64, s390, s390x, ia64, alpha) and the el4 update 2 set. Our mirrors are currently buried ... as one would expect when syncing out 6 arches for CentOS-4.2 and some of he CentOS-3.6 tree as well. It may take 1 to 2 days for this to become available on all mirrors. Many thanks go out to the whole CentOS-4 development team for all the hard work and testing to get all these arches out a week early ... thanks Karanbir and Pasi. -- Johnny Hughes CentOS-4 Lead Developer -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
