Basically, we would not likely fix issues in centosplus, but in a different place (like a bug entry and a link to a totally separate RPM for this issue). CentosPlus would be for things like a newer version of PHP or Mysql, etc. The one exception to that is the kernel ... we do roll in fixes as well as added features in the centosplus kernels. As far as what gets added to plus, basically it is items that one of the developers will maintain ... usually because the developer needs it as well. There are any number of 3rd party repos that maintain many newer packages, so getting things into CentOSPlus is not the only option. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
