[CentOS-announce] CentOS-6.0 Continuous Release i386 and x86_64

[news 28]

 

The CentOS-6.0 Continuous Release ( CR ) repository is now available on

mirror.centos.org. This repository contains rpms to be included in the

next CentOS-6.x release ( 6.1 ). Because these include security and bugfix

updates, we strongly recommend everyone using CentOS-6 install and

update their system using this repository.

 

---------------------

Download and Install:

 

The centos-release-cr-6.x rpms are available in the Extras repository. You

can either run: 'yum install centos-release-cr', and follow yum's prompt or

download the rpms directly, install them using rpm and then use yum to run

the system updates.

 

i386:

http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/extras/i386/RPMS/centos-release-cr-6-0.el6.centos.i686.rpm

( sha256: 9fc78d2d79abeb1513f0851d075a2860f5039fc8db3fb0db4c660252fffda894 )

 

x86_64:

http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/extras/x86_64/RPMS/centos-release-cr-6-0.el6.centos.x86_64.rpm

( sha256: bd55e1505caae2f78c306290d235b7f54833fcad5a9f1942b3cb54e28f7bfe73 )

 

Notes:

 

- All rpms in the CR repo are signed with the main distro key.

 

- While the existing CR repo has most of the updates, we aim to have

completed all updates in the next 2 to 3 days time.

 

- All updates released since 6.0, will be added to the 6.0/cr/ repository.

This includes bugfix and enhancement updates released as a part of 6.1

 

- Once 6.1 is released, the 6.0/cr/ repositories will be removed ( they

will not be available on vault.centos.org )

 

- Once 6.1 is released, the migration from 6.0 to 6.1 will remain seemless

for people running with the CR repository. There will be no manual

work needed on the machine.

 

- Baseurl for the CR repo is set to only use centos.org internal

machines, this is to reduce the amount of time we need to spend in

seeding and then managing external mirrors.

 

- All contents in the CR repo will be announced into a separate

announcement list; once 6.1 is released the announcements will be

re-sent to the centos-announce list.

 

- Additional notes are available at : http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CR

 

Comments and feedback are always welcome.

 

Enjoy!
