hi guys,
We are still in the early days of CentOS-6, and perhaps a change in policy at this time might be acceptable. I'd like to propose moving the CR repo into the mainline repos. So the change I'm proposing is :
to have a /6/ release that is always updated.
to have the /6.X/ releases that are contained to within that point release
what this means is that /6/ will point at the most recent release of 6.X/ for the os/& isos/ repo. The other repos would be local to the /6/ symlink, and will be always updated ( and stay that way ).
there is going to be quite a lot of implications backend / mirror side that we will need to work out, but its effort + pain as a one off, for what can be a major improvement in the user experience.
thoughts ?

Hello
I agree. The CR-Repo is very much appreciated and - imho - should have a place in the mainline repo. This might also take some load off of the mirrors during point release time (as most packages from /os are already updated via /cr - for those who use it. Did I get that one right?) Changing my mirrorlayout should be no problem.

all the best Christoph

that does imply that we get hardlinking right, and people are running rsync with -H
