[CentOS] Are some CentOS package out of date compared to RH?
According to the RH5 Errata, the most recent package for scsi-target-utils is scsi-target-utils-1.0.8-0.el5.x86_64.rpm However the latest update via yum on CentOS is labeled scsi-target-utils-0.0-6.20091205snap.el5_5.3 Additionally, the package info says it is not compatible with iSCSI yet, which is false! There were some critical updates for this package according to RedHat, so how can I be sure that I am at the correct version? In looking at some other packages on my CentOS system, like httpd, I am noticing they are also out of date in regards to Red Hat updates. Is this common? Name : scsi-target-utils Arch : x86_64 Version : 0.0 Release : 6.20091205snap.el5_5.3 Size : 143 k Repo : updates Summary : The SCSI target daemon and utility programs URL : http://stgt.berlios.de License : GPLv2 Description: The SCSI target package contains the daemon and tools to setup a : SCSI targets. Currently, software iSCSI targets are supported.
