Hi,
sometimes I'm looking for new package versions within the yum repositories because they should fix security issues.
Therefore I go to http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packages
and search for e.g. 'kernel' then I see there is already a new kernel build 2.6.34.4: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=190874
But it is not yet available via yum:
repoquery -i kernel
Name : kernel Version : 2.6.33.8 Release : 149.fc13 Architecture: x86_64 Size : 108243345 Packager : Fedora Project Group : System Environment/Kernel URL : http://www.kernel.org/ Repository : updates-testing Summary : The Linux kernel
Shouldn't this package (kernel-2.6.34.4-42.fc13.x86_64.rpm) be available already?
It has the tag 'dist-f13-updates-candidate', is this equivalent to the updates-testing repository? (I also have the updates-testing repo enabled.)
Sometimes I download the rpm files manually but on the long run that isn't very practical either (dependencies..).
kind regards, Christoph

It is. It's in the updates-testing repo, like it tells you above.

It seems logical to find an update candidate in the testing repo. I can't imagine where else you might find one, other than some holding area just prior to putting it in a repo.
(I also have the updates-testing repo enabled.)
Of course, else you wouldn't have got the above info from a repo query command.

No. Christoph refers to a build found in koji and compared that with what is available in updates-testing. The newer build is not.

No, that's false information.
A package in koji which is tagged as "dist-*-updates-candidate" is available for packagers to be published as updates requests in bodhi (the Fedora Updates System). When pushed into a repo, it will either be tagged with "dist-*-updates-testing" or "dist-*-updates". Candidates are only available in koji (and not even in the koji buildroot repos, depending on what dist is built for).

This http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=192358 is taged as dist-f13-updates-testing and not yet in a repo:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/kernel-2.6.34.6-47.fc13
status: pending pushed: false
so I asume only 'dist-*-updates' are pushed to a repo?

One cannot see whether it is currently in the process of being pushed into the repo. The status is not detailed enough. The update ticket submitter receives the tag notification from koji. Bodhi adds a comment to the ticket only after the package has been pushed.
