I'm hazarding a guess here - that the os/{i386,x86_64}/CentOS/*.rpm's that
have 'centos' in the name have had changes made for CentOS. The others
have not and the sources are available from upstream at eg
http://mirrors.kernel.org/redhat/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Server/en/os/SRPMS/
Can anyone please confirm/deny that?
I looked at a couple of examples including eg httpd -
rpm -qpi 5.6/os/x86_64/CentOS/rpm-4.4.2.3-22.el5.x86_64.rpm
Name : rpm Relocations: (not relocatable)
Version : 4.4.2.3 Vendor: CentOS
Release : 22.el5 Build Date: Sun Mar 6 13:40:33 2011
Install Date: (not installed) Build Host: builder10.centos.org
Group : System Environment/Base Source RPM: rpm-4.4.2.3-22.el5.src.rpm
Size : 3754140 License: GPLv2+
Signature : DSA/SHA1, Tue Mar 22 09:37:08 2011, Key ID a8a447dce8562897
URL : http://www.rpm.org/
Summary : The RPM package management system
...
... so it's built from rpm-4.4.2.3-22.el5.src.rpm ... the same _name_
as the upstream vendor's source.
Oddly, the 5.5 binary carries 'centos' in it's release field:
5.5/os/x86_64/CentOS/httpd-2.2.3-43.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm
... so the good devs had to make changes there, yet not for 5.6!!!???
Cheers
Bob
