This is due to the update sitting in the signing que. It should be
signed and pushed out to the mirrors sometime here soon.


For future reference, you can download Revisor builds directly from Koji
(if you don't want to wait for us to approve the builds for public
consumption):

No. The issue is that we were shipping default configs that only pointed
at the "Fedora" repo, which only has the bits that were shipped on the
DVD. We currently list "busybox" as a required package. Make sure you
have busybox in the repo you point Revisor to.

What version are you using? (rpm -q revisor) 2.0.4.0 is the latest.
