* 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.
