Correct,
Scientific Linux tries to preserve package names from upstream when
we've not made any changes from their published sources.

i can't speak officially on this but it is my understanding and
experience that when upstream tags a package
with el7_1 in the name such as the systemd below, SL keeps that same
name tag, so I would expect
to see el7_1 tags in the names of some packages like you are seeing.

Hi, Steven, it appears that's what happened - an upgrade happened w/o
me quite being aware, prob Apr 15. A little odd, I was expecting to
see some sl7_1 packages in there but they are all either el7_1 or
sl7. But, maybe I didn't have any SL packages that had 7.1 versions.
For example:
Apr 11 18:37:15 Updated: firefox-31.6.0-2.el7_1.x86_64
Apr 15 22:26:07 Updated: systemd.x86_64 208-20.el7_1.2
I don't see any sl7_1 references. Just this sort of thing:
Apr 15 22:26:23 Updated: libreport-filesystem.x86_64 2.1.11-21.sl7
Apr 15 22:26:23 Updated: libreport-python.x86_64 2.1.11-21.sl7
Thanks for your time,
Ria

Look at your /var/log/yum.log. It's possible that since you have
the slrelease set to 7x, all the
rpms from the next release have already been automatically updated
for you before you did anything,
and that the sl-release already said 7.1 before you tried to do
the update. I have no direct
experience with 7.0->7.1 but that is the way it works in 5 and 6.

*Subject:* parameters for yum upgrade
Apologies for the silly question. First time I've attempted to do
an upgrade.. going from an install of 7.0 to 7.1
In /etc/yum/vars, I have releasever=7, slreleasever=7x.
yum-conf-sl7x is installed.
I had redhat epel enabled, but I've disabled it. I pulled in an R
stat package from 7.1.. which I wonder if that is somehow
contributing to my problem.
Anyway.. like I said.. releasever=7, slreasever=7x and then..
yum clean all
yum upgrade
No packages marked for update.
yum clean all
yum update sl-release
No packaged marked for update.
Yet, when I look in /etc/sl-release it says 7.1.
/etc/redhat-release also says 7.1.
I probably got lazy and sloppy. Fortunately there's nothing I
can't live w/o on this laptop.
