Given the aim to keep the subscriber list very limited, this probably falls into a tentatively subscribed category too. AFAIK, CentOS has rather few components that are not rebuilds of the RHEL SRPMs, the question is how often a v-s info was useful in the past in providing security updates for those extra packages.Thanks for the post furthering the marketing goals of your corporate master; perhaps the security goal of making sure the Linux server space is well-secured in a timely fashion was overlooked by you as you framed your thought
Damn, my corporatish evilness unveiled after all... ;) The request was meant to be in the same spirit as Alexander's questions to rPath or Frugalware folks to see if the membership provides the expected benefits, and seemed natural given the specific development mode used by CentOS. You're free to view it however you want, of course.
Seemingly (you mention 'AFAIK'), you do not follow the 'extras' archive, nor the 'testing' where extensions are found, past what Red Hat ships by default in its enterprise product
I certainly do not follow. I did check extras and centosplus though and referred to them as those components that are not rebuilds. Not many components there seemed to be an obvious candidates that can benefit from v-s info, imo. EOF -- Tomas Hoger / Red Hat Security Response Team
