Hello,
I was happy to see yum-cron ported to EL 6.1, however I was disappointed to find (just now) that its been removed from EPEL 6 before making it to CentOS 6. Am I missing something, or do all yum-cron users just need to wait for CentOS to pull it? Any chance we can update the policy/docs/etc regarding not removing packages from EPEL until they are in both RHEL and CentOS?
Maybe something for the next EPEL SIG meeting, unfortunately I won't be able to attend it.

It's in the CentOS 6 CR repo:
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/cr/x86_64/RPMS/
CentOS advise CentOS 6 users to use the CR repo:
http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2011-September/018078.html
"The CentOS-6.0 Continuous Release ( CR ) repository is now available on mirror.centos.org. This repository contains rpms to be included in the next CentOS-6.x release ( 6.1 ). Because these include security and bugfix updates, we strongly recommend everyone using CentOS-6 install and update their system using this repository."
