Hi, has the end of life and yum update process changed for Centos? I want to stick with a release, but receive security updates to maintain stability on my critical servers.
Last year I remember the plan being that if you picked 3.1, 3.3 or 3.4 you could stick with it and automatically receive yum updates without changing anything.
Then when 3.4 came out the Centos readme said if you were on 3.3 you would automatically be updated to 3.4 through yum. That never happened and I remember reading some where here it would not. Which was fine by me since I assume that was due to sticking to the original plan.
But now it seems I have a 3.3-1 server that all of sudden looks like it wants to update to 3.4.

Centos-3 is the distro
When RHEL puts out a quarterly update (ie update 4) we call it version 3.4.
So 3.3 will go to 3.4 and to 3.5 and so on.
It was supposed to update from 3.3 automatically to 3.4 originally. But a lot of people faced problems with the Bind update removing all their zone info from named.conf. As such it was stopped. But I believe that issue has finally been fixed. So the auto update is now allowed to proceed.
