CentOS - Aug 2012 - 6.3 missing updates and packages

Hi,

The fact that apparently the last tigervnc update from upstream was
missed triggered me to check for missing updates and packages in 6.3.
Here are my results. Sorry for any false positives that might have crept
in, but note that some of the 6_x updates actually are updates and not a
parsing error. And perhaps an occasional false positive due to having to
compare upstream SRPMS vs downstream RPMS.

CentOS: dmidecode-2.11-2.el6
RHEL63: dmidecode-2.11-2.el6_1 Yes, this is an update, despite the 6_1
confusion. Unless dmidecode-2.11-2.el6.src.rpm =dmidecode-2.11-2.el6_1.src.rpm.
CentOS: espeak-1.40.02-3.1.el6
RHEL63: espeak-1.40.02-4.el6
CentOS: gawk-3.1.7-9.el6
RHEL63: gawk-3.1.7-10.el6
CentOS: gnome-power-manager-2.28.3-6.el6
RHEL63: gnome-power-manager-2.28.3-6.el6_2 Yes this is an update,
despite the 6_2 confusion. Unless
gnome-power-manager-2.28.3-6.el6.src.rpm
=gnome-power-manager-2.28.3-6.el6_2.src.rpm.
CentOS: gvfs-1.4.3-12.el6
RHEL63: gvfs-1.4.3-15.el6
CentOS: iok-1.3.13-2.el6
RHEL63: iok-1.3.13-3.el6
CentOS: irssi-0.8.15-3.el6

RHEL63: java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-1.48.1.11.3.el6_2
CentOS: logrotate-3.7.8-15.el6
RHEL63: logrotate-3.7.8-16.el6
CentOS: pm-utils-1.2.5-9.el6
RHEL63: pm-utils-1.2.5-10.el6

RHEL63: python-rhsm-0.99.12-1.el6
CentOS: vios-proxy-0.1-1.el6
RHEL63: vios-proxy-0.2-1.el6

tigervnc-1.0.90-0.15.20110314svn4359.el6_1.1.src.rpm is missing from my
scripts output but an update, so I guess I'll have to fix my script
too ;)

Missing packages:

mlx4_ib-1.0.32.269-1.el6_2 If from libmlx4 then still behind
mpitests-3.2-5.el6 Actually available as mpitests-subs, but behind C6 @

servicelog-1.1.7-3.el6 RHN related?
snd_core-1.0.21.6.3.0-1.el6_2
snd_hda-1.0.21.6.3.0-1.el6_2
snd-hda-1.0-1.el6_0 Package apparently renamed and split, neither
snd-hda, snd_core nore snd_hda available
tg3-3.122-2.el6_2
virt-who-0.6-6.el6
xorg-x11-drv-geode-2.11.12-1.el6
xorg-x11-drv-neomagic-1.2.5-1.el6
yaboot-1.3.14-39.el6
zaf-0-0.3.20080714svn.1.el6

And a few more hits that I need to check, possible RPMS that do not
produce packages with their own name but only with extensions, f.e.
libassuan that only produces libassuan-devel.

Regards,
Leonard.

You may want to rerun the script after including the FASTTRACK repo
from CentOS. That will reduce false positives.

Producing an accurate list of "missing packages" is tricky -- mainly
because you need access to RHN. There are cases in which the SRPMS are
still at the ftp site but their binaries are no longer available. Then
there are those that are still available but not in *6.3*, only in
older releases (certain kmod packages belong to this group), etc etc.
