Hi Pat,

Thanks for your suggestion and offer to help. Due to my lack of
complete knowledge of the subject, I need to ask a question.

We don't differentiate between security/bug fix updates - we support
the latest package release only, so users of elrepo should generally
update to the latest version of which ever package(s) they may be
using. In this situation how would the updateinfo bebefit elrepo?

Again pardon my ignorance.  :(  :)
