Still the fact that centos is leaving its users exposed to this kind of
thing is...problematic. What's even more perplexing is that according the
Karanbir the package was ready to go yet since then there is a sudden radio
silence for three weeks. If there are still problems with building the
updates ok but then they could have at least pushed this package out or put
it on some server for people to download manually and if that is a problem
too then they should have put out a message the next day that there are
still problems and that people are better off building the updated package
themselves.
At least that would have given the users some information to act on.

Dennis
