Comment 1 John Dennis 2005-03-21 19:07:50 UTC
The patch for CAN-2004-1177 was added to FC3, FC4, RHEL-3, RHEL-4 a month ago
(2/25/2005) and errata RHSA-2005:235 was created for it. If this isn't showing
up in the releases all I can say is maybe its another example of updates/erratas
getting bumped from updates.

Comment 2 Matthew Miller 2005-03-21 19:19:47 UTC
I checked before adding a comment.

The latest update in the tree and for which there was an announcement on the
Fedora announce list was 2/9/2005 (announcement the next day on 2/10/2005). This
mentions CAN-2005-0202, errata RHSA-2005:137, and bug #147343 -- nothing about this.

I don't know anything about updates/errata getting "bumped", but I'm 90+% sure
there was never an e-mailed announcement, and 66.67% sure that I would have seen
it appear in the tree when it got rsynced, so if they're disappearing, it's
pretty early on.

Plus, it looks like the issue would also affect FC2, which is still supposed to
be getting updates.

Comment 3 Mark J. Cox 2005-03-21 19:36:23 UTC
The updates for FC2 and FC3 have not been pushed according to our records.

Comment 4 John Dennis 2005-03-22 21:00:51 UTC
The following were just pushed. The announcement is in the moderator pending
queue at the moment.

FC2 mailman-2.1.5-10.fc2
FC3 mailman-2.1.5-32.fc3

Yes, confirming it in the tree. Thank you very much.
