Sorry, I know I should keep cool but what I describe newer hapend in CentOS 3 till now.
3.1 was the first release ... it was linked to 3.3 after that was released
3.3 was linked to 3.4 after that was released
3.4 was linked to 3.5, etc.
That has been the same since the beginning
I have several machines installed from CentOS 3.0 media and I newer need download other thing except "updates" .
I remember cca. 4-6 months back there was major change in repository organisation. (There was a long talk about "How older releases should change its yum.conf URL to work with new layout). Isn't this result of the change? Or am I tolally wrong?
The only thing that changed was that we added a 3/ and 4/ symlink that always stays updated (points to the current release) so that changes are not required to the yum configuration and it matches the upstream version number ... so things like dag's repo work with the version number.
Former model - where all releases "updates" had its directory with appropriate updates and not yust link to "hopefully global updates". It was HDD hungry, I know.
That isn't true ... 3.1 was removed after 3.3 was released
and 3.3 was removed after 3.4 was released ... this was all before CentOS-4 was released
The method has always been the same ... only the /3 and /4 was added around the 3.4 release time.
But
Newer model - where all releases are linky to one directory
That has always been the case
