Hello,
When we original released Scientific Linux 4.7, we had a few bugs.  Some bigger 
than others.  We ended up having enough problems that we felt we needed to do a 
respin.
What is a respin?  Basically, everything stays the same, except for the few 
packages that have been added.  We aren't going to change the date of the 
release, or any of the documentation.  We are only rerunning the release build 
scripts that are needed when a package changes.  We have also rebuilt the CD 
images.

What changed from the original SL 4.7?

--Packages that we felt needed to be fixed
**fuse - Updated to version 2.7.3 because the original version wasn't 
compatible with the fuse-sshfs we provided.
**R - Had to recompile because there was an extra library in the i386 version 
that isn't in the normal Scientific Linux distribution.
**samba - Had to recompile with newer krb5 libs on the build machines.

--Errata and bugfixes from RedHat
libxml2
sos
traceroute

--Packages that change when packages change
comps
rpmdb

Currently everything is over in scientific/40rolling, for both i386 and x86_64
http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/40rolling/i386/
http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/40rolling/x86_64/
CD iso images will be up soon at
http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/40rolling/iso/

Unless anyone has any objections, we plan on moving these over tomorrow if 
there are no objections.

Thank You
Troy Dawson
