Scientific Linux 6.2 BETA 2 i386/x86_64 January 10, 2012 These are notes of the "Alpha/Beta" releases for Scientific Linux 6.2 . ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- THIS IS NOT FOR PRODUCTION. This is for testing. Please report back any issues. There should be no expectation that a "yum" upgrade to SL 6.2 will work. A new install is the recommended method to move from "sl6rolling"(this alpha release) and the released "SL 6.2". Items marked with * are changes for BETA 2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMAGE/TREE LOCATIONS ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- DVD Install iso image ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6rolling/i386/iso/SL-62-i386-2012-01-09-Install-DVD.iso ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6rolling/x86_64/iso/SL-62-x86_64-2012-01-09-Install-DVD.iso Everything DVDs are available INSTALL TREE ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6rolling/i386/os/ ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6rolling/x86_64/os/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHANGES SINCE PRIOR ALPHA/BETA ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- openafs updated openafs-1.6.0-97.z2.sl6 openafs-authlibs-1.6.0-97.z2.sl6 openafs-authlibs-devel-1.6.0-97.z2.sl6 openafs-client-1.6.0-97.z2.sl6 openafs-compat-1.6.0-97.z2.sl6 openafs-devel-1.6.0-97.z2.sl6 openafs-kernel-source-1.6.0-97.z2.sl6 openafs-kpasswd-1.6.0-97.z2.sl6 openafs-krb5-1.6.0-97.z2.sl6 openafs-plumbing-tools-1.6.0-97.z2.sl6 openafs-server-1.6.0-97.z2.sl6 * kmod-openafs-1.6.0-97.z2.sl6.71 yum-conf-atrpms yum-conf-elrepo yum-conf-epel * we have added yum-plugin-fastestmirror as a requirement by popular request redhat-rpm-config * Modified to recognize SL as vaild for dist tag generation livecd-tools-13.4-7.sl6 liveusb-creator-3.11.6-6.1.sl6 * Updated from EPEL * Updated by Urs Beyerle for SL6.2 Adobe repos for x86_64 tree * yum-conf-adobe-6-1.2.i686.rpm * Added to provide access to i686 tree * yum-conf-adobe-6-1.1.noarch.rpm * Removed as yum-conf-adobe-6-1.2.i686.rpm now covers i386 sl-release * removed Troy Dawson's GPG key * added CERN's GPG key in case they start building packages for us Replaced with rebuilt ones * python-2.6.6-29.el6 * python-devel-2.6.6-29.el6 * python-libs-2.6.6-29.el6 * python-test-2.6.6-29.el6 * python-tools-2.6.6-29.el6 * tkinter-2.6.6-29.el6 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- REMOVED ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- mingw32 - does not belong in i386 tree see http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHEA-2011-1751.html removed mingw32*rpm packages from the i386 tree.
