Could I ask a simple question: When the Centos6 build (for i386 or x86_64) was release / build at 100% (or close) ?
It might be 2 weeks from now or 2 months from now. I would like to think it will be closer to 2 weeks, but it will be completed when it gets completed.
Johnny,
So it's absolutely normal a CentOS 5.6 release is 10 weeks late and there's no intent to speed up the process to lower the time to do future releases ?
Dag, with all respect - polarizing doesn't help! RHEL5u6 is released 5 weeks ago (+2).
If that is the case, we might want to make that more clear on the wiki, eg. in my CentOS introduction presentation from 2008 we still mention that releases are (up to) 4 weeks behind RHEL.
The actual process is slowing down caused by the concurrent appearance of RHEL4u9, RHEL5u6 and RHEL6. Right, one could argument that the problem lies here now.
I don't think most of the users ever expected to be without security updates for 10 weeks or more when choosing CentOS, and that is an important characteristic.
Centos != RHEL and therefore this implies a time-window between update availability. Using this immanent fact against the team is counterproductive.
