CHANGES Since Beta 2
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have created the scientific/57 directory. Everything in it is
currently pointing to the appropriate 5rolling directory. This is so we
can test the various scripts that need to point to 57.
sl-release
- sources is now pointing to 57 instead of 5rolling
yum-conf
- The appropriate yum repositories are now pointing to 57 instead of
5rolling
Intel Wireless
- iwlwifi-XXXX-ucode was replaced with iwlXXXX-firmware to reflect
the naming convention of The Upstream Vendor (TUV). In Beta 2 we had
put in the new packages for x86_64, but forgot to take out the old
packages. The old packages are now gone.
We made sure that all i386 packages that are supposed to be in the
x86_64, were actually *in* the x86_64 area.
