Re: [CentOS] Volume of patches for CentOS vs Fedora

RHEL only gets security updates between update releases. Since RHEL update releases correspond to CentOS minor versions, non-security-related updates usually only occur once every 3 months and in one fell swoop, not piece-by-piece as in Fedora.

Thank you. So, am I correct in saying that every 3 months, the packages in the updates repo get moved to the new main repo, replacing the old versions, plus bug fix releases get added to the main repo at the same time. Then the updates repo starts off empty again and new packages are issued to it for security reasons only?
