Looking at several mirrors of the OpenSSH ftp site I see rpms for 6.2
that are the same package but two different rpms.  There seems to be
some difference between mirrors as well I cut the begining of the
listingto make it easier to read.


       413002 Mar  7 07:28 openssh-2.5.1p2-2.6.x.i386.rpm
       421474 Mar 21 22:29 openssh-2.5.2p2-1.i386.rpm
        24837 Mar 21 22:29 openssh-askpass-2.5.2p2-1.i386.rpm
        49481 Mar 21 22:29 openssh-askpass-gnome-2.5.2p2-1.i386.rpm
       782571 Mar 21 22:29 openssh-clients-2.5.2p2-1.i386.rpm
       338522 Mar 21 22:29 openssh-server-2.5.2p2-1.i386.rpm

this is from ftp3.usa.openbsd.org

Earlier I downloaded to a different site from a different site :
    413002 Mar  7 08:28 openssh-2.5.1p2-2.6.x.i386.rpm
    421474 Mar 21 15:29 openssh-2.5.2p2-1.i386.rpm
     24821 Mar  7 08:30 openssh-askpass-2.5.1p2-2.6.x.i386.rpm
      7556 Mar  7 08:30 openssh-askpass-gnome-2.5.1p2-2.6.x.i386.rp
    768485 Mar  7 08:29 openssh-clients-2.5.1p2-2.6.x.i386.rpm
    782571 Mar 21 15:29 openssh-clients-2.5.2p2-1.i386.rpm
    335981 Mar  7 08:30 openssh-server-2.5.1p2-2.6.x.i386.rpm
    338522 Mar 21 15:29 openssh-server-2.5.2p2-1.i386.rpm


What is the difference between the 2.5.1p2-2.6x.i386 and 2.5.2p2-1.i386
versions?  Earlier I went for the 2.5.2-2.6x since the version apeared
higher but now that I look at the dates I am bumfuzzled.  Anyone around
that can explain the naming convention used here? One is a little bigger
and it was built on mothra.mindrot.org and the other on
bronze.mel.ibs.com.au.  Both have Damien Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> as the
packager.

TIA

Bret
