It's not totally done yet, but it currently answers your question
https://www.scientificlinux.org/documentation/faq/yum.apt.repo
sl-fastbugs - disabled by default - These are bugfixes that are put out
by the upstream vendor, before the official updates. At the time of this
writting, this is a new program, that the vendor calls 'fasttrack'. It
is not enabled by default, because sometimes bugfixes change the way a
program works, and the releases of S.L. are designed to be very stable.
sl-bugfix-44 - disabled by default - These are the non-errata, updated
packages from the next release. In this case, sl-bugfix-44, is in S.L.
4.3, and it points to all the bugfixes that happened in S.L. 4.4. Since
S.L. 4.4 currently isn't out yet, this repository is empty. When S.L.
4.4 is released, this repository will be populated, and S.L. 4.4
configuration will have sl-bugfix-45.
