There is SOME QA ... just not all the QA that they get as part of the main release.
They are not right off the build and into the server ... we do our functionality test suite prior to pushing CR (and other tests, and look for repo closure). They are fairly well vetted.
We are trying to serve two masters here ... fast release and fully tested release. CR is the middle of that and a compromise that should work and not break things AND still allow us to do the testing we want for the main release too.
So, you should expect more issues from CR than the main tree ... but the risk should be minimal for any kind of major breakage.
For what its worth, I use CR on the machines I manage in production.
OK. So my question is. I have Centos 6.0 installed on a couple of systems.
I have not modified any repos or installed any repos etc...
Am I receiving security updates via 'yum update', which as far as I can tell hasn't installed any updates for quite a few months??
If not, what do I need to do to get security updates?
These are not production systems, but I don't want to break anything unless it's broken already (i.e. security vulnerabilities and bug fixes).
