Neither ... :) Those files listed are ... (1) rpms that we built for 6.2 updates ... THAT ARE ALSO ... (2) newer than we put on the 6.3 ISO. That is a very specific set of files and what it means is that the java-1.6.0-openjdk files on the 6.3 iso are older than the files you would have on a fully updated 6.2 machine. And yes, java-1.7.0-openjdk was in 6.2 and it is in 6.3 ... but the rpms we built for 6.3 are newer than the rpms in 6.2-updates. We put the older files on our 6.3 ISOs (the ones listed where you quoted) because we are mirroring the versions in the upstream EL release, which are also older than the 6.2-updates. We did, however, move the newer rpms into 6.3-updates, so you will get them as updates to the 6.3 install. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
