There is a new channel provided by the upstream provider called fastrack. This channel will have RPMS that are going to be included in the normal update sets (3-4 times per year), but released once a week. These RPMS will normally be bugfix or enhancement updates and not Security updates. Accordingly, CentOS has created a fasttrack (note the spelling difference, it is intentional) repo. This repo will track the upstream fastrack channel. If you would like to use the FastTrack repo for CentOS-3, modify the following lines in your default /etc/yum.conf (yum-2.0.8-2.centos3): before (fasttrack disabled by default): #between point release supported updates #[fasttrack] #name=CentOS-$releasever - Fasttrack #baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/fasttrack/$basearch/ #gpgcheck=1 after (fasttrack enabled): #between point release supported updates [fasttrack] name=CentOS-$releasever - Fasttrack baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/fasttrack/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 See this upstream mailing list post for more info on fastrack: https://www.redhat.com/archives/nahant-list/2006-April/msg00001.html
