Update ("Point Release") Beta and GA announcements are made on the _public_ Red Hat lists for EL5 and EL6. [1] [2] They are also made on the public, "low-traffic" Announce lists. [3] [4] In fact, Red Hat is quite notorious for cross-posting announcements (e.g., 6.4 Beta on the 5 list, etc...). I would assume most everyone here is already on them, at least the "Announce" lists. I regularly see community "EL Rebuild" discussions on those lists as well. Again, they are _public_ and I've never seen any moderation done on them regarding community "EL Rebuilds." In fact, they are hosted/serviced on exact same public hostname/mailman service [5] as this list, "epel-devel-list." As far as "customer," anyone with any subscription, including a Red Hat "Developer" subscription, should have access to the Beta binary packages. Given the complementary ones handed out to EPEL maintainers, having one can never hurt to track any forthcoming RHEL changes. E.g., a dependency rebase or RFE/concurrent release upcoming in the next Update. Although you don't have to have a subscription to read the public "Technical Notes" for any Beta, including the breakdown of individual package updates, possible rebases/concurrent changes, etc.. (e.g., Section 4 for RHEL 6.4 Beta [6]). In fact, I see this workflow, based on Chris' original suggestion to handle changes more "discrete" on RHEL Updates ("Point Releases"), being the "EPEL equivalent" of the "Technical Notes" -- but with a 100% maintainer optional/opt-in (not required). -- bjs [1] Red Hat public RHEL5 list - https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list [2] Red Hat public RHEL6 list - https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv6-list [3] Red Hat public RHEL5 Announce ("low traffic") list - https://www.redhat.com/archives/rhelv5-announce/ [4] Red Hat public RHEL6 Announce ("low traffic") list - https://www.redhat.com/archives/rhelv6-announce/ [5] Red Hat public lists (rhel-* lists, as well as epel-devel-list) - https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ [6] Red Hat public docs: Enterprise Linux 6.4 Beta "Technical Notes" - https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6-Beta/html-single/6.4_Technical_Notes/index.html -- Bryan J Smith - Professional, Technical Annoyance b.j.smith at ieee.org - http://www.linkedin.com/in/bjsmith ------------------------------------------------------------ American Libertarism died in the '70s with the invention of sensationalist US mass media.
