Sorry about this, fixed now.

packages mentioned in the "Actual Content" section are available as a
part of stable release, just do a "yum install <package name>"

packages mentioned in "New Packages Pushed" are under testing, to use
the same run "yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install <package
name>". The same will be pushed to stable after a week (if no bugs
reported)

Thanks
