Different cockpit versions between RHEL & CentOS 7.6

[Yigal Korman]

Hi Guys,
Anyone knows why RHEL 7.6 provides v173.1 while CentOS has a newer v176?
Usually packages have the same version on both...

Thanks,
Yigal

PS, I see that Cockpit is mentioned as modified by CentOS in the
release notes [1] but there's not explanation of why.

They do, but you have to consider Base vs. Extras. Both RHEL 7.6 and CentOS 7.3
have Cockpit 173 in base

http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64/Packages/

and some cockpit-* version 176 in Extras:

http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/extras/x86_64/Packages/

It's a bit confusing as e. g. cockpit-bridge 176 isn't supposed to be there --
that's a Base package. Apparently CentOS publishes all built packages from 176
without filtering them out the way RHEL 7 does.

This is fixed in RHEL 8, as the packages are not built on the srpm level,
instead of relying on  post-build compose filters.

OK, I see, extras VS base, thanks Martin!
