I'm glad the delay wasn't overly inconvenient, some of this stuff should 
have been out weeks ago....

Anyway, the mirrors should pick everything up on their next sync, 
provided what we've got posted now is actually accurate.

Can I have you give 
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6x/archive/debuginfo/  a 
quick look over for the debuginfo packages you want.  If they are posted 
there, everyone who mirrors SL 6 should pick them up at their next 
update.  If not, then they are hiding out in a directory I haven't found 
yet and should get posted.

And I can honestly say that, with a community as wonderful as this, its 
a pleasure to be a part!
