Hello,
RHEL 5.5 has been released, along with a slew of low to medium priority
security updates.
In the past the security updates that come out at this time have had odd
dependencies for the older SL5 releases.
In order to get items tested faster and/or better, we are putting all of
these updates into the testing repository, in one big folder.
NOTE1 - Openoffice 3.1.1 is also there. It is not a security update,
and will not go into the security update area until it needs a security
update. But having openoffice in the testing area, is an easy way for
people to install and use it if they want.
NOTE2 - We will not be putting the new kernel into security updates, and
so will not be testing it. We will be waiting for the first security
update to this new kernel before testing on older SL5 releases. This
also goes for kernel dependancies such as gfs-kmod and kvm.
Moderate security advisory
curl
openldap
Low security advisory
automake
pam_krb5
sendmail
squid
Enhansement package
openoffice
As packages get tested to our satisfaction, we plan on pushing them out
as errata next week, or the week after. Except openoffice, we will not
be pushing that out until it has a security update.
To test
