hi,
with the next release coming up - the CR repos are going to get populated ahead of the distro release itself - typically, this can be a week or so ahead.
What this means to cico tenants is that their machines, when yum updated, will reflect the content in the next release. Any user, on or off cico, with the cr-repo enabled, will be in the same situation.
However, cbs.centos.org will NOT have the CR/ content added in till AFTER the release is done for media. With a week to 10 day gap between the two events, if you tenant needs to manage this issue, please do.
However, if you do find issues in the builds and tests, please let us know - a good goal is to have all SIG content validated ahead of the next-release, or to handle any problems that the users might see, ahead of time.
please feel free to reach out on irc, lists, emails, phones etc i
regards

Just to add that - CR will be populated for x86_64, but will lack AltArch - there will be also a delay at the CBS/Builders side between x86_64 (when it will be released and used in koji) and AltArch (released later and not in sync)

I'm a newbie here, so please bear with me while I try and understand.
Just to add that
- CR will be populated for x86_64, but will lack AltArch
What is the CR repo, and why will it lack AltArch?
- there will be also a delay at the CBS/Builders side between x86_64
(when it will be released and used in koji) and AltArch (released later and not in sync)
Can you help me understand the delay there as well?

CR is where the built packages derived from an upstream point release (7.4) get placed before the corresponding CentOS Linux release (1708). The catch is: these packages -may- change in place on a hotfix basis if a packaging/rebuild-level bug is caught.
Multiarch rebuilds of CentOS Linux are done via a separate process, and though they happen fairly quickly, they do not gate the release of CentOS Linux.
In CBS, because of the hotfix-nature of CR, we do not include it in the buildroots for SIG packages, we only include the released CentOS Linux repos for this.
