Like you, I was a little confused, so I compared the list to what I actually had installed on my system, and - lo and behold - all the proposed packages were of a newer version. So, I entered "Y", and about � an hour later everything was up to date. I even compared the new rpms to the ones in the "official" updates tree, and you know what ? - Mine were newer.
I think it's safe to conclude, that there are no "updates" to CE, but main, contrib and plf gets updated as time goes by. Who knows ? Kaj Haulrich. -- * Sent from a 100 % Microsoft-free computer * * running Linux kernel 2.6.4 on Mandrake 10.0 *
