Hello Everyone,

As Some of you might know,  I haven't done much with the CentOS/BlueQuartz 
system mainly for a couple of reasons...  The crazy codb and 
username/password db systems, which I now have a solution for.  And I didn't 
like the dependence on CentOS until I realized, I  don't really need them to 
build anything for me.  As long as Redhat is around,  I'm confident I can 
build whatever I might need or want...  It just means I have to do more 
work..   which I can live with...  So I'm going to start working on 
BlueQuartz Systems and providing commercial updates!

I've taken on some customers that have BlueQuartz CentOS systems and need 
updates within a few days of the Redhat/CentOS update as they need to pass 
security audits all year long.  I have created a commercial repo with 2 
mirrors for the updates needed by the CentOS BlueQuartz Nuonce 4.8 cd for 
VISA/MC PCI Compliance.

These updates also include fixes for several CVE's and a variety of bugs 
like the dovecot crashing the username/password database problem.  While I'm 
updating software to current versions for things like dovecot and Proftp, 
not everything will be updated in that manner.  That is in part due to the 
fact that Redhat isn't doing anything of the kind and things like dovecot 
and Proftp are specific to this system and can be updated that way.

All this has also allowed me to create mirrors of the various repos. I hope 
to make them public in the future but I have not yet contacted Nuonce, 
Solarspeed, or Hisao to ask if I can...  So they are closed for now...  Stay 
Tuned for more!

The New site is at http://www.bqforge.com/ and the repos currently contain 
the following gpg signed rpms...

analog-6.0-2BQ2.Z1.Zeffie.com.i386.rpm
dovecot-1.0.8-1.0.Z6.Zeffie.com.BQ.i386.rpm

procmail-3.22-14BQ2.Z1.Zeffie.com.i386.rpm
proftpd-1.3.1-1.Z1.Zeffie.com.BQ4.i386.rpm

These upgrades/updates close multiple security holes and bugs and also 
include additional language support (analog).  A Sendmail upgrade is also in 
process to be added...
