Hi,
Missed it by *that* much.
For the time being, going to repoview is still the best way to see the 
most current packages in a release.  We are working on a better way, but 
that's still six months out.
The problem was that you were looking at a stale repoview.
When we updated our machine that creates the yum repositories, we also 
updated repoview.  The newer repoview put's everything one directory 
lower, so for your particular case you should have been looking at

http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/52/x86_64/updates/security/repoview/

I did not clean up the old repoviews.  I am doing so right now, and have 
already cleaned up the directory you were at.  I'm deleting the old 
repoview directories, and putting a link the the new area's, so I don't 
break anyone's bookmarks.

As for rrdtool, that was a package that we put into the release for a 
short time, and it caused too many conflicts and problems with the 
rrdtool in both EPEL and dag, so we took it back out.
So if you want it you can get it from either the dag repository or the 
epel repository.

Sorry for all the confusion.
Troy
