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.
