While there might still be some small changes in the content of these packages, typically we see a very low churn. However, we do highly recommend that you try the package set before deploying it into your production workloads. In CentOS 7, the CR repo definitions are already included in the latest centos-release file. You can check you have this by running "rpm -q centos-release", this should give you a single line of output "centos-release-7-0.1406.el7.centos.2.6.x86_64". If you have an older release, you can update via "yum update". At this point you should be able to run "yum --enablerepo=cr list updates" and then "yum - --enablerepo=cr update" etc. The CR repo is disabled by default, In order to enable it permanently, please refer to the wiki article on the CR repo, mentioned below. A typical usecase where this has proven helpful in the past, is where people were to use this content as a preview of the release that follows. This is also a great place for the wider audience to help us shape the release notes into our next release, provide feedback and help with warnings and changes that might not be communicated well enough already. Update announcements for these packages are pushed to http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-cr-announce/2015-March/thread.html - - since these are not updates into the regular channel, we wont announce them to the -announce list at this point. - -------- The CentOS CR repos contain rpms that are built to be included in the next release for CentOS. In this case they include rpms being prepared for the next CentOS 7 release (tag: 1503) and beyond. Once the next release media are ready and announced, the CR repo content will move away from the mirror network along with the last release content, media, images, etc (in the same manner that it has in the past, as a part of the CentOS-Vault process). - -------- For more information about the CR process visit the wiki page: http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CR - -------- Notes * The CR repo is treated as a single stream of packages, and will shortly also start including updates released since the upstream point release. And therefore content in the CR repo might not map back to any media or images released. However, every CentOS-7 installed and yum updated to the same point in time will always have the same content, the same rpms and the same feature set. * Warning for IPv6 users: If you only have IPv6 (so no IPv4), you will not be able to directly use the CR repository, as that repo is hosted on mirror.centos.org nodes which currently do not have AAAA records. What you can do is to fallback to the mirrorlist process and use external mirrors that will also have the CR content. To do that, remove (or comment out) the baseurl= line and add mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&rep... in your /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-CR.repo. Note that external mirrors will usually get the content several hours after the mirror.centos.org nodes. - -------- - From here, the CentOS Team, the CentOS QA team and the infra groups around the project now goto work on getting the ISO media and release content ready for preview. For this next release we are hoping to ship the following images: - CentOS-7-DVD - CentOS-7-Everything - CentOS-7-Minimal - CentOS-7-GnomeLive - CentOS-7-KdeLive - CentOS-7-LiveCD - CentOS-7-GenericCloud - CentOS-7-Container At this point, we are working to release this set which pulls in the sources from RHEL 7.1 within the month of March 2015. Details can be found on this release at http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS7-CR - once the media is final the final release notes will be located at http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS7 ( replacing the older release notes, relevant content will be carried over ) I also want to take this opportunity to send out a huge thanks to the CentOS-QA folks, and their commitment to the process - who often drop their lives and come help build, test and document the new release in CentOS. If you would like to join the effort, please get in touch with me at kbsingh@centos.org - we can always use more help, from different sort of use cases (including other projects that consume CentOS Linux in their own process). - -- Karanbir Singh, Project Lead, The CentOS Project +44-207-0999389 | http://www.centos.org/ | twitter.com/CentOS GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJVCHBuAAoJEI3Oi2Mx7xbt38sH/23g4/2LLZPDUQPv2RDQPiR7 LNzQxgoq6WXaKDQez+OKIicr7hLqbErSFCaa5drFVaIFVhdJUdDZjIVY9cs0AzL0 qeI8nVP1W6XT9wSdh93y2HXZGJGw9jAnvMvH8Sg38eZEsMs1MfSrRKXSUafZOGat 4eSM5vl+0p/2xTRY0NQOejcaIeSjBkgYLsTHrnpJjS0wrXk/1muIKst4+7mr58d8 /LaYLDmexH/rWO0AvyJ7CvvSxIY50t1d+q/3NaaCDdcD6m/5pXj4W9KGDQNagMP1 VLKHHo76VBbivMtYYOOfvAYM7LzkCH5eJ/0tL7TrwfvwNMH3lDhY8Udl9WfmQXg= =PJvS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ CentOS-announce mailing list CentOS-announce@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-announce End of CentOS-announce Digest, Vol 121, Issue 6 ***********************************************
