rust-toolset-rhel8-8050020211112021616.f73640c0 httpd-2.4-8050020211115030420.b4937e53

======= Updates =======

Updates released since upstream are posted across our current architectures. We strongly recommend that all users apply *all* updates, including the content released today on your existing Rocky Linux machines. This can be done by running `dnf update`.

All Rocky Linux components are built from the sources hosted at git.rockylinux.org. In addition, SRPMs are being published alongside the repositories in a corresponding "source" directory. You can find these on any of our mirrors. These source packages match every binary RPM we release.

============ Known Issues ============

https://bugs.rockylinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=174 - We are aware of an issue that kdump does not work on vmware systems such as ESXi.

We are also aware of our mirror system reporting back the wrong directory for doing updates. It was going to `kickstart` rather than `os`. This should be resolved and updates should work normally.
