Invitation cordially repeated to the good folks at ALUG

If you'd like a RedHat 7.2 Update CD compilation, and can't make CB2 this Sunday or thereafter, I can post or even deliver in person at the Chevely ALUG 27th meet maybe.

Folks

Work in progress, hopefully ready before CB2 tomorrow...

I'm hoping to build at least one "Update" CD of the entire collection of Updates from a number of mirror and "value added" sites later today: For RH7.2 in addition to the RH 6.2 custom variant (Eridani) that I usually work with.

With luck, I'll also have a gash RH7.2 running to test all the rpms on the CD, later this evening.

Anyone want a copy - for pick-up at CB2 CLUG tomorrow? Same basis as when Tom provided CDs: Cover a CD cost, or bring a replacement 1st quality 700M 80min blank CDR with you...

Eventually, I intend to rebuild the Install CD to use the update rpm packages rather than the RedHat October 2001 CD packages.

For some reason, OpenSSH has lagged behind the times, but stunnel is recent enough. I will include the v3 OpenSSH rpms, but please bear in mind that these are not "official" RedHat. A considerable number of bug fixes went into 3.0.2p1-1, and I won't have an opportunity to check rpm upgrades before Sunday. The "official" 2.9p2-12 Redhat updates are also there, of course. I don't know what has been back-ported by RedHat into their 2.9 portable OpenSSH rpms.

May be able to squeeze the latest KOffice and KDE rpms on an 80min 700M CDR, but no promises. I'll see how much time I have, and how much spare space on the CD is available after the RedHat update directories fill up.

My interest in RH7.2 is purely a stepping stone to the fifth generation selinux LSM secure operating system project.

Anoyone interested in obtaining a Redhat updates CDR - email me so I know how many to burn before I leave early on Sunday morning. If I run into any snags I'll email to the list again.
