Will centos-release-5-7.0.i386.rpm delete "centos-CR.repo" file in *any* case, or are there possibilities that "centos-CR.repo" somehow survives?
If it's name is changed by accident, CR repository will stay enabled. Can that affect 5.7 repository in any way by like dist-sync but in the opposite direction 5.7 -> 5.6/CR?
yes, local edits will mean that the best we can do is have the file be moved to .rpmsave - but that would in turn cause the .repo to get disabled.
in either way, once 5.7/os and 5.7/updates are in place, and the /5/ link moves from 5.6 -> 5.7, the only packages in CR would be the centos-release rpm from 5.7. The other packages will be moved. If we decide to go down the workflow mentioned above in this thread.
If you are going to do this I would like to request that the srpms for the centos-release package are released at the same time as the distro. I use custom repos for my machines and rebuild the centos-release package with a higher NVR so that all of my machines pull from my repos. This gets broken every time a new update comes out and updates the centos-release package. In the recent past the centos-release srpm has been MIA for some period of time after the distro release.
Also, would the CR repo be accessible via rsync?
