Hi,

I'm new to the list so please be gentle with me!

I am a user of another well known Redhat Rebuild distribution and it has come 
to light that the maintainers don't/can't release interim security updates 
while they are rebuilding a new dot release from upstream, as far as I can 
understand. This is because upstream releases its security fixes against the 
most recent dot release. Therefore there is a corresponding  delay to security 
releases.

I am considering moving away from that distribution for the above reason and 
the dot releases seem to be taking a long time, which compounds that issue. I 
would like to stick with something RH based, as I am familiar with it.

Does the Scientific Linux maintainers use the same approach as above, or have 
they  solved that issue in some other way?

Thanks in advance,

Ian.
