Hi guys,
Some of you are probably subscribed to the CentOS-announce list (https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-announce) so they saw quite some mails about plenty of pkgs being now released through the CR repository (https://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CR)
In the past, we built for all architectures through different build systems, but for this new 7.5.1804 release (rebuilt from 7.5) we started to use a new build process to build for all arches in parallel through one single build system.
We never really had any CR repository before for armhfp and aarch64, but content is now signed and pushed :
So that means that if people want to start getting up2date pkgs without waiting for the official GA release (as we need to build the correct install trees and isos images), a simple yum update would work, *but* , as said, we never had any proper CR repo defined through centos-release (or centos-userland-release) for aarch64 and armhfp That will be fixed in the next -release file (already ready for 7.5.1804 GA release)
In the meantime, people willing to update can do the following (manual steps, as root) :
### echo "altarch" > /etc/yum/vars/contentdir cat > /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-CR.repo << EOF [cr] name=CentOS-$releasever - cr baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/%5C$contentdir/%5C$releasever/cr/%5C$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-7 enabled=0 EOF
yum update --enablerepo=cr
