Sorry about that, the fastbugs process got modified when 6.1 came
out and it hadn't been fully restored to working. The delay was
mostly because of human (ie ME!) error.
If you do a yum clean all the packages you are looking for should
be in fastbugs for 6.1 and 6.x now. Typically we release
bugfix/enhancement updates on a weekly basis as occasionally the
packages don't build easily and its nice to have a bit of flexible
time in getting them released. When security errata doesn't build
it gets full attention, when an enhancement doesn't build we care
and work hard at it, but its just not the same.
Let me know if you notice anything still missing.
Thanks, that was very fast!
Yes, I do see all the packages in fastbugs. I'll wait a bit before
installing till debuginfo packages will become available, since I don't
want to make glibc debuginfo non-compatible (they will eventually,
right? I understand that glibc and some other debuginfos are large and
mirrors take time to catch up with these).
I must say, I'm so pleasantly surprised with how fast updates appear in
SL and that debuginfo is nearly always (aside from few mirror lag
issues) up to date, it's really breath of fresh air after Centos that
I've been using for years before, to always be able to analyze with
perf& oprofile because all the debuginfo is actually there and gets
updates together with packages. Please keep up the good work, SL is
definitely the best distro for many of my tasks.
I'm glad the delay wasn't overly inconvenient, some of this stuff should
have been out weeks ago....
Anyway, the mirrors should pick everything up on their next sync,
provided what we've got posted now is actually accurate.
Can I have you give
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6x/archive/debuginfo/ a
quick look over for the debuginfo packages you want. If they are posted
there, everyone who mirrors SL 6 should pick them up at their next
update. If not, then they are hiding out in a directory I haven't found
yet and should get posted.
And I can honestly say that, with a community as wonderful as this, its
a pleasure to be a part!
