CentOS - Feb 2005 - Updates to CentOS-4Beta

1.  There are updates to CentOS-4Beta for the i386 and x86_64 arches.
The following RPMS have been changed:

a.  createrepo-0.4.2-1.noarch.rpm - This is an update from the upstream
maintainer.

b.  yum-2.1.13-1.c4.noarch.rpm - This is an update from the upstream
maintainer.

c.  firefox-1.0-6.centos4.3.i386.rpm - The original build did not strip
the library files of unnecessary symbols, causing the library files to
be up to 3x the normal size.  This rebuild properly stripped the library
files.  The following mozilla based files had the same library files
strip issue:

mozilla-1.7.5-1.centos4.2.i386.rpm
mozilla-chat-1.7.5-1.centos4.2.i386.rpm
mozilla-devel-1.7.5-1.centos4.2.i386.rpm
mozilla-dom-inspector-1.7.5-1.centos4.2.i386.rpm
mozilla-js-debugger-1.7.5-1.centos4.2.i386.rpm
mozilla-mail-1.7.5-1.centos4.2.i386.rpm
mozilla-nspr-1.7.5-1.centos4.2.i386.rpm
mozilla-nspr-devel-1.7.5-1.centos4.2.i386.rpm
mozilla-nss-1.7.5-1.centos4.2.i386.rpm
mozilla-nss-devel-1.7.5-1.centos4.2.i386.rpm
thunderbird-0.8.0-9.centos4.1.i386.rpm

d. up2date-4.3.53-1.src.rpm was released on the RHN channel for RHEL4-
Beta2 prior to the channel closing. up2date-4.3.53-1.centos4.2.i386.rpm
and up2date-gnome-4.3.53-1.centos4.2.i386.rpm were created from that
source as upgrades to the original up2date used.

e.  redhat-artwork-0.120-1.1E.centos4.1.i386.rpm and redhat-
logos-1.1.22-1.centos4.1.noarch.rpm were upgraded to include better
quality CentOS logos.

2.  The yum grouplist, groupinstall, groupupdate features have been
added to the CentOS-4Beta repositories.  Here are some links that
explain how to use the yum group features:
