CentOS got those out 24h ago. What about SL? Any chance we'll see rebuilds at least in {5,6}rolling/testing tomorrow?

I had read it, and I try to participate in testing in such cases, whenever possible. Alas, testing 10.0.1 seemed kind of pointless after the 10.0.3 advisories had been issued.

Not sufficient, but our tests so far haven't shown anything serious (SL 5.7, 5.8 Alpha, 6.1, 6.2 - mostly x86_64, but SL5 systems run the 32-bit browser).

The new trigger in sl-release looks good to me, and it works.

The xulrunner update breaks yelp, so that had to be added (taken from 5rolling on 5.7, from fastbugs on 6.1/6.2).

Thanks for all your work,
	Stephan
