again, this maybe just a case of publishing a 2nd set of metadata rather than retain the base rpm set, but we need to retain this functionality.
Wouldn't pinning versions be better here if that's what you need? If you took that same kickstart over to a RHEL machine, you'd get the updates over there.
no, you would get a point release ( same as media .. ) if you wanted to. I want to make sure we dont lose that ability in CentOS, so were going to need to do this.
Would be indeed worth clarifying, as I was under the impression that Brian said the reverse with "all updates would land in BaseOS" and so BaseOS would be a moving target ...
@Brian : can we clarify once for all this ?
2 diff things,
a) BaseOS will get all the content from a point release and all updates will land in the same directory
b) we snapshot the repo metadata and publish it in addition to the baseos repo ( what was called the kickstart repo ).
we can do both.
Again, this is *how* you see this, but it can differ from how that will be composed, reason why we probably need a kind of formal plan (in the wiki ?) to have $latest version of this thread, instead of trying to read "between the lines" what was said or not, etc .. :-)
