Scientific Linux 6.4 i386/x86_64 Mar 28, 2013 As a reminder, the SL6x repo always points to the most recent release. The SL6x repo has been updated to SL6.4 at this time. Users of the Scientific Linux 6x repo should run yum clean expire-cache This should allow yum to notice the updated metadata within the 6x repo. Mirror sites are encouraged to synchronize their mirrors at this time.

With SL6.0 we started packaging the OpenAFS client's kernel module according to the guidelines from TUV's Driver Update Program. Due to unanticipated changes with the 6.3 kernel, we've had to revisit the process. With the 6.4 release, we modified the packaging to provide a dedicated build of the module for each minor SL release, instead of one kernel module (kmod) for all SL6 kernels. Since the EL kernel ABI is supposed to be kept stable within a minor release, this should avoid the problems some SL users experienced. For those updating their system using yum, this change should be completely transparent. yum-conf-sl6x This is now installed by default. You may remove it to return to the historical behavior. yum-conf-sl-other This now features an entry for 'sl-addons' repo. For more information on sl-addons please view the README file within the addons repo itself. xorg-x11-server Features a new ABI, this was a security errata so it should be available to earlier releases. matahari Upstream has discontinued the matahari packages ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mailing Lists [log in to unmask] - Users of Scientific Linux supporting each other [log in to unmask] - Development of Scientific Linux [log in to unmask] - Announcements concerning Scientific Linux [log in to unmask] - Announcements about Security Errata [log in to unmask] - Announcements about Scientific Linux related to mirroring -- Pat Riehecky Scientific Linux developer http://www.scientificlinux.org/
