There is a new channel provided by the upstream provider called fastrack. This channel will have RPMS that are going to be included in the normal update sets (3-4 times per year), but released once a week. These RPMS will normally be bugfix or enhancement updates and not Security updates. Accordingly, CentOS has created a fasttrack (note the spelling difference, it is intentional) repo. This repo will track the upstream fastrack channel. If you would like to use the FastTrack repo for CentOS-3, add this entry into your /etc/yum.conf file and it will be enabled. [fasttrack] name=CentOS-3 fasttrack baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/fasttrack/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 See this upstream mailing list post for more info on fastrack: https://www.redhat.com/archives/nahant-list/2006-April/msg00001.html
