hi, what is the current release versions for centos? it seems to a trivial question although:
- centos/3 -> 3.4 why not to 3.5?
Should happen any time soon.
- centos/4 -> 4.0 why not to 4.1?
It's in the release notes:
| If you don't want to manually edit anything now, in about 1 week | CentOS-4.1 i386 will automatically be made the default version and you | will be upgraded when you run yum any time after that.
why not centos-release-4.1-2? in the current case we can't write in yum's repo file we can't write: .../centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/ since $releasever is 4 and not 4.1 (or 4.0) so we have to lean on the symlink which currently point to an older version. but even if it's point to the right version imho it'd be better if $releasever should be 4.1 rather then 4.
That would break expected (i.e. "true" RedHat compatibility) behaviour.
Yes I've already been bitten by the symlink still going to 3.4 instead of 3.5, but who'd expect httpd being newer in 3.4 than in 3.5?
Is that an error? Should that be filed as a bug?
3.4: httpd-2.0.46-44.ent.centos.2 (and it's in base, not updates) 3.5: httpd-2.0.46-44.ent.centos.1
