The Scientific Linux team was made aware of a problem with the use of 
temp files in the yum-autoupdate script by Elias Persson.  The problem 
should be corrected in these packages.

These packages also include some minor feature updates for each release.

For SL5, the script now includes the 'PRERUN' and 'POSTRUN' 
functionality provided for SL6.  The script is still configured as 
before, in the /etc/yum.d/ directory.  The new features were added to 
the /etc/yum.d/yum.cron.updateexec config file.  Users of SL5.8 already 
have this added feature.

For SL6, the package now includes an augeas lense for possible automated 
configuration.  Augeas is a configuration file editing tool.  This lense 
allows augeas to read your configuration file so that you can customize 
it through that program.  Typically augeas is used for automated 
configuration file edits.  This lense should allow you to script out any 
changes you wish to make at your site.

After the packages have remained in testing for two weeks, they will be 
released as security errata on September 25th.

You are strongly encouraged to test this package update.

You can install this update for testing via the sl-testing repo on your 
SL system:
   yum --enablerepo=sl-testing update <package you wish to test>
