Hi,
Is there a way to upgrade from Centos Linux release 7.4.1708 (Core) to Centos Linux release 7.5.1804 (Core) and not up to CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 (Core) as the product does not support the latest CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 (Core) version as of now. It is still a work in progress. Any help will be highly appreciable. I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks in Advance.
Best Regards,
Kaushal

Well, there is no 7.6, nor 7.5, but only centos 7, with updates .... meaning that it just represent which updates were rolled-in at install time, nothing else. So if you don't want to apply updates, it's of course up to you, but then you're on your own for all security issues ;-)

Thanks Fabian for the quick response. I understand it completely about the security compliance requirements. I will use the below commands to keep all the security patches up to date.
#yum list-security --security #yum update --security

Maybe you can use also commands:
# yum --security check-update # yum --security update

No, as there is no metadata for this anyway, so it's useless ;-)

You should not do this, but set your repo to use vault.centos.org e.g. http://vault.centos.org/7.5.1804/updates/x86_64/
Then do yum updates, then set it back to what it was before.
The likelyhood is that your software supplier, and possibly yourself, do not actually understand the Centos Reaase Scheme.

Not if you use the default mirror list.
The easiest and most sustainable way of doing it is to create your own local mirror of CentOS and point your .repo files at that. You can then decide exactly what is available to your host as upgrades.
If you don't want to do that then you need point your .repo files at a single *nearby* host and adjust the baseurl to replace '$releasever' with '7.5.1804'.
But remember that the 7.5.1804 tree will no longer receive *any* updates, so this really can not be recommended for any machine.

Its worth mentioning again that the above will not do anything to install security updates in CentOS using the CentOS mirrors. Those repositories don't provide the security metadata, so the above is essentially a no-op.

Since you're using a commercial product, perhaps you should invest in RHEL 7. You can get 7.5.z repositories that will get security updates (as well as metadata that make 'yum update --security' do what you want).

What product and what, specifically, about 7.6 does it not support? Could you not just exclude the incompatible packages? You could then provide your own repo for the incompatible packages drawn from 7.5 and backport any security fixes for those packages yourself.

Hi Kenneth,
I am referring to https://docs.apigee.com/release/supported-software
Interesting, looking around apigee (part of Google) website I see a lot of words like "Security" or "TLS" and I'm wondering how this fits with only supporting outdated operating systems?

Well, it's only a month since CentOS "7.6" was released, and some of that month has been taken up with Christmas holidays.
So I would think it is probably not a case of "we won't support 7.6" but rather that "we haven't yet finished testing it on 7.6".
Cheers Tony

And/or "The Webmaster [of the apigee.com website] has not gotten around to changing the website, since he/she has been out of the office because of Christmas." Given the nature of CentOS / RHEL point updates, unless something really odd happens, support for point updates is pretty much a no-brainer. Eg if 7.5 is supported, so is 7.6.
