Hi there,
Now that CentOS 7.7 is out, for how long the 7.6 will be supported ? Support is stopped immediately, or will it be supported for a few weeks/months ?
Kind regards.
Stephan.

The rule is, only the latest version is supported. People may try to help but at one point, you'll be asked to "update everything and try again" :-)
Kind regards.

I guessed it was "only the latest version is supported". Was just wondering, if there is something more "established", than "at one point".
Anyway, I got another answer: No update for 7.6 packages will come, in a near futur.
And yes, we'll work on this update ;-)
Thx.

Hi Stephan,
Something to really understand is that there is always only one CentOS 7 .. point :) the major.minor version just reflects a kind of "snapshot in time" of when the installer was ran against new set of pkgs, (including rebased ones) landing in upstream RHEL 7. So any centos 7 installs is just automatically using $latest (which is the only one that really exists), as yum update is pointed to those repositories, while older ones (unmaintained, frozen) are archived to vault.centos.org, (but just there as reference, as there is a clear disclaimer that "there will be dragons" for people just pointing to insecure/unmaintained pkgs sets :)
Yes, I always treated it as a continuous release (as per the CR repository). The point releases always seemed pretty arbitrary to me.
