Annunciato il rilascio della prima alpha di Scientific Linux 6.1.

The first alpha for Scientific Linux 6.1 has been released. This release has all the new updated packages from the upstream vendors (TUV) update 1. It will install, and it appears to work, but no major testing has been done. Changes from 6.0 (in addition to TUV changes): Shawn Thompson created a whole new graphical theme for Scientific Linux 6 called 'Edge Of Space'; we pulled the fastbugs and testing repositories out of the repository file, they are now in their own RPM called yum-conf-sl-other - this is done to fix the problem of people checking the fastbugs during the install.

***CHANGED SINCE ALPHA 5***
*OpenAFS fixed* The selinux openafs problem has been fixed.
*SL_password_for_singleuser fixed* The mechanism to enforce password authentication has changed, that's now configured in /etc/sysconfig/init. This update reflects that change.
*Compiled packages against TUV packages* We have finished the check of our packages against TUV packages. We check files, permissions, scripts, requires, depends, and a few other checks. When there was a discrepancy we rebuilt our package using different parameters to match TUV packages.
