The first release candidate for Scientific Linux 5.7 has been released. This release has all the new updated packages from The Upstream Vendors Update 7, as well as the security and fastbugs up to today. We have network install images, and DVD images. No CD images are available at this time. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHANGES Since Beta 2 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- We have created the scientific/57 directory. Everything in it is currently pointing to the appropriate 5rolling directory. This is so we can test the various scripts that need to point to 57. sl-release - sources is now pointing to 57 instead of 5rolling yum-conf - The appropriate yum repositories are now pointing to 57 instead of 5rolling Intel Wireless - iwlwifi-XXXX-ucode was replaced with iwlXXXX-firmware to reflect the naming convention of The Upstream Vendor (TUV). In Beta 2 we had put in the new packages for x86_64, but forgot to take out the old packages. The old packages are now gone. We made sure that all i386 packages that are supposed to be in the x86_64, were actually *in* the x86_64 area. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- DOWNLOAD INFO ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/57/i386 http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/57/x86_64 Network Install Images http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/57/i386/images/boot.iso http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/57/x86_64/images/boot.iso DVD Images http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/57/iso/i386/dvd/ http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/57/iso/x86_64/dvd/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- KNOWN Issues ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Scientific Linux Development Team
