Removes eggcups notification. Not installed by default.
SL_enable_serialconsole-3.1-3.noarch.rpm

console output to both the serial port and the screen. This
also creates a login prompt on the serial port and allows users
to login at this prompt.
SL_enable_slocate_cron-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
By default slocate does not run daily, it is turned off in it's
config file. This turns it on when the rpm is added, and

yum
createrepo is used to create yum repositories on the server for
yum 2.1 and above, and possibly future versions of apt.
yum-conf-40-2 has the check of yum in it, so that if
yum has been running for a long time, when the yum.cron
starts up, it will kill the old yum. This was changed because we
had reports that yum was "hanging".
