[CentOS] Are some CentOS package out of date compared to RH?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httpd, I am noticing they are also out of date in regards to Red Hat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?
