Since upstream has a 6.1 version already released, we will be using a Continous Release repository for 6.0 to bring all 6.1 and post 6.1 security updates to all 6.0 users, till such time as CentOS-6.1 is released itself.

We rebuilt all the post 6.0/6.0-updates rpms, the final ones are still in the queue ( and they should build ). Once that happens the CR repo will be setup and details posted.

I think it would be good to have a short limited release first so we can all test the process ( ie. people on the centos-devel list can test the process ) before its released more widely.

But I understood CR repo has to be specifically "activated"... how?

you will need to install the centos-release-cr rpm on the machine manually. exit from there to the next released centos-release should be automagic ( via an obsoletes: in the next centos-release )

So what is current situation? Possibly lists.centos.org non updated but e-mails actually sent to subscribers...? In attach output of "yum update" on this system... as of 15th of July when I tried (I didn't update) Are perhaps these a sort of 0 day updates, as it happens in Fedora?

yes, these were 0 day updates, already in place when 6.0 released. the announcements for them individually should be visible soon ( either close of play Friday or early on Monday UTC ).
