It's largely automated by the errata process. Which goes something like.. - build srpm - feed srpm to build system - get it signed - generate update mail using a script which pulls the changelog out of the srpm, and includes the md5sums etc. - write up any extra bits needed - push to servers - wait a little while - mail to fedora-announce-list. > For those with slow links, skip installing and downloading the works > until you have looked at the change log.

The 2154 that was there already isn't going to be moved to -updates, as theres nothing really 'must have' there. There are a few security fixes in the 2163 update, which should go to -updates quite soon, but as none of them are remotely exploitable, and there's a kernel in -testing if folks are really desperate for them, I'm going to hold off on pushing into -updates for another week or so. I'd really appreciate as many people as possible jump on that one btw, as it has quite a few VM changes to bring things closer to mainline. My preliminary testing has shown it to be stable, and in some tests, performance seems up too. Dave
