As far as I understand it.. yes there will be a 5.0.1 and a 5.1.0.
not clear if you meant that there are going to be 5.0.1 iso's as well ?
I do not know. I was under the impression that there would not be new isos for 5.0.1 but that could be the ASS U ME of the sales person 3-6 months ago.
The 5.0.1 release should only be security errata and will be built against the 5.0.0 glibc and libraries.
Thats going to be quite interesting, since it might imply a completely new release. Lets see how it all pans out - if there are any real plans or redhat endorsed docs that someone can point us at, that would be great.
I have nothing but what I got from asking questions of the TAM et al a while back. I do not know if all of 5.1 would be rebuilt or just the parts that get technology updates.
btw, does someone want to have a go at drafting up a policy we could use on the mirror.centos.org network and on external mirrors so as to minimise drivespace usage and still be able to offer the same user experience as upstream ? I know that between Johnny, Lance and I we did do some prep work for this - and a lot of options exist. But it would be good to get some fresh ideas on board and see if we can work something out that works for most people.
I was wondering if we should see about stealing the new Dell built one for Fedora?
