Hi, sadly I was not able to use the bug tracker so I will use this list to address the issues / questions that I have in mind after using Scientific Linux for some time.
The first thing I noticed is that there is something wrong with the sl-debuginfo repository. yum repolist says the following: sl-debuginfo Scientific Linux 5 debuginfo rpm's enabled : 72 But having looked at ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/5x/archive/debuginfo/ there seem to be much more packages in that repo than 72. Is there something wrong with the repodata? The second thing is that both gpgcheck and the usage of mirrors is deactivated by default in yum.repos.d. I'd be interested in knowing why that is, also because the gpgcheck can vastly improve security. Thanks, Martin
