Hey, Johnny,

   Are there two updates for openjdk, or just one?

There is one for java-1.7.0-openjdk and one for java-1.8.o-oepnjdk for
both CentOS-6 and CentOS-7 .. as both are being maintained.  You may or
may not have both installed.

For CentOS-5, there is no java-1.8.0-openjdk, only 1.7.0 .. so for
CentOS-5, there is only one update.

Expect updates for java-1.6.0-openjdk soonish .. Oracle no longer
supports that version directly, so Red Hat will have to backport updates
that are required to that version.  There will be updates for centOS-5,
6, and 7 for java-1.6.0

So, there are 3 versions of 'java openjdk' 1.6.0, 1.7.0, and 1.8.0 in
CentOS-6 and 7 .. and only 1.6.0 and 1.7.0 in CentOS-5.

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes

Is it possible to include the full java version in the emails (I imagine 
that the other way for me to find it is to use yum?  sorry, Linux n00b here)

Thanks,


Igal

That top part of the email is just an index of the mail (with the name
only) .. at the bottom if the mail is the actual filelist of all rpms
released.

Also, you can just look here:
