CentOS - Oct 2017 - openssh-5.3p1-123.el6_9.x86_64.rpm for CESA-2017:2563 not available in mirror.centos.org centos6 repo

The patch for CESA-2017:2563 announced at
https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2017-August/022529.html
is only available in the centos 6.9 repo. It is missing for the generic
centos-6 repo at http://mirror.centos.org/centos-6/6/os/x86_64/Packages/.
Typically this repo contains all the latest patches for the latest minor
release, but it's missing the new version of openssh. I assume this is by
mistake, but please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks
Dustin

This doesn't look like correct place to look for it to me. Please find it
in the place similar to the following (I'm giving URL of mirror I
maintain, but that should give you an idea):

http://bay.uchicago.edu/centos/6/updates/x86_64/Packages/

openssh-server-5.3p1-123.el6_9.x86_64.rpm

IS there.

I hope this helps.

centos-6/6/ is a symlink to centos/6/

which is inturn a symlink to the latest directory .. in this case 6.9/

So, you will get the same package from each location

But, during the update sync out cycle, some servers have updates while
others are still syncing, so it sometimes takes a couple of hours for
everything to settle out.

Both of those directories will have the same content when they are synced.

I did just release 30ish SRPM builds today, so it will take a few hours
for everything to stabilize.

However, that package was released a long time ago (31 aug) and it IS in
both places right now.  So no idea why you only see it in one place.

For the things released TODAY .. they may take a couple hours to get out.

You're looking in os, the RPM you want is in updates:
http://mirror.centos.org/centos-6/6/updates/x86_64/Packages/openssh-5.3p1-123.el6_9.x86_64.rpm

os contains all the latest patches up to the 6.9 point release.  It does
*not* contain package updates that have been released *after* 6.9.  for
those you need to look in updates.
