Hello,
Multiple security flaws were discovered in RealPlayer. Helix Player and
RealPlayer share a common source code base; therefore, some of the flaws
discovered in RealPlayer may also affect Helix Player.
The Upstream Vendor has decided to remove HelixPlayer from it's 
distribution, and we will remove it from Scientific Linux 4.

Our removal packages have nothing in them but a README, so the 
HelixPlayer program will be removed from your SL 4 machine.

We plan on pushing this out on tomorrow or friday - 16/17 December 2010

To test or update

SL5
-------

           yum --enablerepo=sl-testing update Helix\*

or you can download rpm's by hand at

http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/5rolling/testing/i386/helix/
http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/5rolling/testing/x86_64/helix/
(for both i386 and x86_64)
HelixPlayer-1.0.6-3.sl4.1.i386.rpm
HelixPlayer-uninstall-1.0.6-3.sl4.1.i386.rpm


Thanks
Troy Dawson
