Steve,

I am not sure if you posted your initial message to the correct
mailing list. This is the ELRepo-devel list -- for the development of
the ELRepo Project -- yet your subject header
"kernel-2.6.32-131.0.15.el6.centos.ayplus.i686.rpm" is referring to a
particular CentOS-Plus kernel that was developed for the yet to be
released CentOS 6 product!

Obviously there is a considerable degree of overlap when one considers
that "ayplus" refers to the testing builds of that new CentOS
product's kernel, created by Akemi Yagi (a.k.a. toracat) and that
toracat is one of the ELRepo Project's founders.

Further confusion can arise because I (a.k.a. burakkucat [1]) am also
"kernel active" both with the CentOS Project (for documentation) and
the ELRepo Project (for the released EL5 kernel-ml & proposed EL6
kernel-ml sub-projects).

I think the best thing would be for burakkucat to (figuratively) pad
over to toracat and issue a mild "tail tweak" by putting a paw on the
latter's tail. :D

Alan.
