Is there any place I can find these? Or am I just supposed to fetch them from upstream? You will not need to get them from upstream, they will be provided when we release 6.1 (the CR ones). The purpose of CR is to be fast with the binaries and we will push everything (including the sources) after we finish the QA and do the 6.0 release. You can get them from upstream if the package is not either a kernel or have centos or .centos in the name, because they will be the same (except for the signature). Otherwise we are down to the last couple of errors and I expect 6.1 to be released within a week (including all SRPMS). -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
