Synopsis:	Medium: sl-release security and bug fix
Issue date:	2008-05-23

The configuration file /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources had still been set to
5rolling instead of 51. 5rolling is the development area for Scientific Linux
5. If a user was using a program that used /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources as a
configuration file, they would be getting development updates in addition to
their regular security updates.
This configuration problem is only seen when Scientific Linux 5 is under
development, which is about to happen.

SL 5.1

 SRPMS:
sl-release-5.1-2.src.rpm
 i386:
sl-release-5.1-2.i386.rpm
 x86_64:
sl-release-5.1-2.x86_64.rpm
