I just checked the mirrors this morning and nothing has shown up for 6.4.
Did something major delay the release?
What mirrors .. 6.4 has been released for several hours.
FWIW, I've been running CR and haven't seen much--however, I was surprised that I hadn't seen redhat-release rpm. So, I ran yum clean all, and then got a bunch of updates for 6.4.
We don't release redhat-release in CentOS at all ... we have centos-release instead.
We also don't release centos-release into CR, only in the new version's main tree. Anaconda (the package that installs CentOS) and centos-release are the only packages from the new version that normally are not installed in the CR. Getting a new centos-release is how you know you are updated to 6.4 and not running 6.3/CR.
In this case, there were a couple of other packages in 6.4 on release day that were not released into 6.3/CR, but this is because the packages are updates to 6.4 and were released the same day we released 6.4. They are:
ipa-3.0.0-26.el6_4.2.src.rpm qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.355.el6_4.2.src.rpm ruby-1.8.7.352-10.el6_4.src.rpm tzdata-2012j-2.el6.src.rpm xulrunner-17.0.3-2.el6.centos.src.rpm
The reason these did not go into 6.3/CR is that CentOS 6.4 was released before we built them. Since CentOS-6.4 is released, there will be no more updates posted in 6.3 CR.
This would mean that if you were on a fully updated 6.3/CR and upgraded to 6.4, you would expect to see all the RPMS associated with the above 5 SRPMS, as well as centos-release and anaconda.
