I'm not involved in building CentOS, but the issue is that it is a rebuild of upstream. When RHEL 8.2 is released, there are no more upstream updates released for RHEL 8.1; they are all on top of the RHEL 8.2 release. So, until the time that CentOS can rebuild RHEL 8.2 and make a new CentOS release, there can't be any updates for CentOS 8.1. RHEL 8 introduced modules, which complicated the build system and required new tooling, so CentOS has had a bunch of "under the hood" work to catch up. Hopefully, once that's ironed out, the gap between a RHEL 8.x release and the corresponding CentOS release will drop. -- Chris Adams <li...@cmadams.net> _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
