so, it looks like he just passthrough the "updates
jobs that have to be done" queue ? 

I hope he will anwser my email  but...
first I don't want to irespect jonny and the rest of
centos team, they are doing a great amazing job, a lot
of peoples including me , are beneficiating from their
work.
but, is there any chance that others "channels"
that
uptreams release in its public ftp (mirrors) system
get processed like the os/update channel ?
I barely remember that someone from centos team said
sometime in the past that the update release in centos
is almost automatic: uptream release a package and
some scripts in centos dev pick them and compile them
and then release them as centos updates, am I correct?
if that is the case, could csgfs (or RHCS and RHGFS)
could be included in such enviroment?
if the procedure is just manual.... then I will
accept, without questions, centos team priorities 


thanks
roger

The answer is that there are plenty of manual steps required
whether we
are talking about normal updates or csgfs items.

The csgfs updates are particularly tricky because of the
build
requirements (several packages are i386 others i686 ...
package "A" from
the update needs to be built and installed to build package
"B", etc.
So the CSFGS updates are more manual than the normal
updates.

However, there is also a checking against upstream binary
phase for all
updates that is also manual (normal and csgfs).

After that phase, and after installing and testing locally,
then there
is a release.

Besides that, there are only 24 hours in a day 

I am currently working on CSGFS for centos-4, you can expect
it to be
updated within the next 24 hours if everything builds and
tests OK.

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes

OK ... the CentOS-4 csgfs area should be updated to the
latest RPMS now
