What about the update announcements for Centos5? There was nothing posted to centos-announce yet for the updates that have been released so far for Centos5. Also, the centos-announce mailing list options page does not know about Centos5 yet. Best regards, Bernd.

Upstream did also send out the announcements (At least for the security updates. BTW I still don't understand why upstream only announces security updates and not bug-fix and enhancement updates. IMHO all updates have to be announced as they are a change to the system that the admin / user has to be aware of). Best regards, Bernd.

I know, and you know, and many others know where to www to, yet it may save a lot of time and questions in the future. Just a thought... - rh -- Abba Communications Internet PO Box 7175 Spokane, WA 99207-7175 www.abbacomm.net

By the time they arrive here, with all the meaningless (to users) junk at the front of the subject line, it's really difficult to see whether the announcement is relevant to me. Removing* the list name would help. Having one announcement per package would help. Having a separate list for each CentOS release would help. * RH introduced the "insert list name into subject line" trick with Hurricane (RHL 5.0). The reaction was so negative, it abandoned the idea. -- Cheers John -- spambait 1aaaaaaa at coco.merseine.nu Z1aaaaaaa at coco.merseine.nu Please do not reply off-list
