Hi all,
some questions regarding this bug
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=469848), as I do not quite
understand the information in the bug tracking system.
- Will there be a real patch for this bug, or will it just be mentioned in the
Release Notes?
I don't understand the question.
- What version will the patch be for (5.2, 5.3, ...)?
My guess: a patched version will be released with/for 5.4.
- When can we expect a patch release (status is RELEASE_PENDING since
2009-08-11)?
My guess: when 5.4 will be released.
- How long does it usually take for such patches to be available in Scientific
Linux?
For a 'normal' security or bugfix release: a few days.
For a new minor version (like 5.4): a few days more. Many packages need
rebuilding, and the infrastructure has to be made for the new minor release.
HTH,
Matthias
Best Regards,
Jan
