Hi. [Follow up from https://github.com/openshift/openshift-ansible/issues/1384] I did not RTFM, this is a fresh-eyes-I-just-want-to-download-an-image perspective...
Looking at http://cloud.centos.org/centos/7/images/, I see -1602 is latest version.
- If for some reason I want to use the unversioned CentOS-7-x86_64-GenericCloud.* files, it's hard to be sure what I'll get (other than by downloading => I am getting 1602).
- sha256sum.txt{,.asc} contain no hashes for the unversioned files.
File size does suggest it's 1602.
Ideally the file listing would actually show them as "name -> target" symlink, and/or downloading would return an HTTP redirect to the current version. Currently it returns the content directly, only identifying headers are `Last-Modified: Tue, 23 Feb 2016 17:53:08 GMT` and `ETag: "fcc0480-52c739f3d2900"` (for the .xz). [Be careful with redirect: some scripts/libraries by default don't follow them, e.g. any script using `curl` without `-L` would break :-(]
- http://cloud.centos.org/centos/7/images/sha256sum.txt%7B,.asc%7D are not available over HTTPS. I can verify the hash but I can't trust the hash itself. That's what .asc is signed for, but lazy folks like me don't necessery know which key to trust... (`gpg --search-keys F4A80EB5` worked but then `gpg --verify` says "WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!". No idea what that means - I'm clueless with GPG; trusting https://cloud.centos.org would be trivial for me.)
Looking at https://wiki.centos.org/Download:
- It only links to the unversioned cloud images, doesn't say it's 1602 (other places on that page give the impression everything 7 is 1511), and doesn't list hashes.
- I don't see a link to release notes for cloud images; https://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS7 is for 1511 and only talks of the regular ISOs.
https://wiki.centos.org/Cloud doesn't mention any specific versions, release notes or hashes either.
Googling "centos cloud 1602" didn't lead me to any "official" announcement. Nothing on centos-announce this February. Is -1602 "officially" released? (I personally don't really care, but "what changed" is the first natural question people ask beyond "I just want the latest"...)
Hope this is useful feedback.
