Are there an release date for 4.5?
For crying out loud people, it was just announced by the upstream vendor Tuesday!
Rule of thumb is no more than 2 weeks, barring any weird problems.

Their website is so well organized, I cannot find the link to the announcement.
Anybody?

I saw it on the nahant-list.

There are also updated U5 Release Notes on the documentation page.

Good Morning,
Could anyone comment on the implications of the upcoming 4.5 release on users who are using 4.4 and are happy with it? By doing regular updates to my 4.4 machines am I essentially running 4.5? Are there any compelling lifespan reasons to upgrade from 4.4 to 4.5?

Minor numbers are update revisions. When 4.5 is released, and you run 'yum update' on 4.4, you'll get 4.5.
4.5 is 4.x + bug/security fixes to that point. The lifespan for centos4 is 7 years. During that time, you'll have 4.0 thru 4.18 or whatever the final minor point revision ends up being.
Basically yes, you want this upgrade.
Thank you.
Have a great day! James

I'm not sure I understand this reply. If a system is installed from 4.4, and regular updates are done, it's my understanding that there is no compelling reason to download and install 4.5; that the release of 4.5 is just to change the starting point for new installs.

If you run regular updates on a 4.4 box, once centos 4.5 is released, your 4.4 box will be updated to 4.5. You'll simply need to reboot after the update.

Correct. As Jim stated, after running 'yum update' when 4.5 is released, a system will be a CentOS 4.5 system.

...And just to continue on this thread. Is it correct to say that those of us who are maintaining local repositories should be pointing at /4 instead of /4.x ? This way, when the mirror site's symlink is redirected to 4.5, we get redirected automatically.
