As a CentOs newbie, I'm not sure, will we still have CentOS 7.1 which derive from RHEL 7.1? or this is the new naming conversion for CentOS 7.
Thanks! -Ryan
That was going to be my question as well. According to http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2014-July/020393.html the convention (for the 7.0 release at least) says:
"Numbering
CentOS 7.0-1406 introduces a new numbering scheme that we want to further develop into the life of CentOS-7. The 0 component maps to the upstream realease, whose code this release is built from. The 1406 component indicates the monthstamp of the code included in the release ( in this case, June 2014 ). By using a monthstamp we are able to respin and reissue updated media for things like container and cloud images, that are regularly refreshed, while still retaining a connection to the base distro version."
I would have assumed that this release would be "7.1.1503", and the URL on at least one mirror has:
http://mirror.fdcservers.net/centos/7.1.1503/
Guess if that's the new convention, I'll need to keep my ISO files sorted out somehow, as this progression isn't intuitive:
CentOS-7.0-1406-x86_64-DVD.iso CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1503.iso
