redhat-config-packages
This rpm only installs packages via cdrom. It is not useful.
It does NOT work so do NOT try to use it. Use yum instead.
It is useful. It is only included here because rpms have dependencies
on it and we do not want to change those to remove the dependencies.
up2date
up2date is only included to fullfill dependancies. It is not meant to be the
main updating system for Scientific Linux. Use yum instead.
up2date can use yum for it's updating, but it uses the yum 2.0 style format,
while Scientific Linux 4.x uses the yum 2.2 style format. Thus up2date will
not get the regular updates.
openafs
We are including openafs, even though we do not feel that it is
Enterprise production ready. It does work for the most part, but
this version of openafs had not worked on all hardware.
