Which folder are you looking at? (or really, which distribution?)
RHEL{3,4}, FC{3,4,5,6}, SLES{9,10} all contain libsmbios RPMs.

indeed, for libsmbios-0.11.5 (where LATEST_STABLE points) the
yum_staging dir is missing.  It exists for previous versions.  0.11.6
is in the yum/software/$dist/ repository.  I'll let Michael fix that
up.

http://linux.dell.com/repo/software/fc6/i386/RPMS
http://linux.dell.com/repo/software/fc6/i386/SRPMS
(and other $dist dirs too...)

Thanks,
