We have the ISO and tree in QA testing at the moment, and all updates after the release of 4.8 are also in the QA tree for testing.

There is currently a problem with AMD K2 and the i586 kernel, but that should not prevent release.

Once we have received enough feedback that this roll out is good, we can move the release into place.

Thanks, Johnny Hughes

Is it possible to get an update on the status of 4.8?

its going out to the mirrors right now, Depending on how long they take to stabalise, we should see release in the next 24 - 48 hrs.

Thnak uou. But I have one question:

CENTOS 4.8 just release, but you download site CEBNTOS 4.8 files are August 4. How it can be?

Because we have a QA program and we test the operating system after we build it before it is released.

We also have to sync the updates to more than 300 mirrors world wide in 56 countries before release.

Both of these things take time.

The DVDs were indeed spun on the 4th of August.

Chill out, what's a difference? No offence, but what are you waiting for?

No offense Radek, but what do you care why he wants to know? He asked a question an Karanbir answered it. That ought to be the end of it.

If you are running things like firefox and KDE, you have a good reason to wonder when 4.8 comes out. Please look, for example, at this forum thread:

http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=19706&start=2...

Four of the security updates are labeled "Critical". *Normally* they are released within 24 hours but CentOS-4 updates are all on hold until 4.8 is out.

If I understand this correctly... we have critical updates with patches available but they are waiting about a week before they become available in the form of Centos 4.8?

Is that accurate?

yup. We have already looked into the possibility of getting updates out during a point release cycle, and will prolly be moving to that process with the next point release ( 5.4 ).

Karanbir, glad to hear this. We have been discussing this a lot of times. Hope the process's really going to happen. It's very important to not stop releasing security updates within the distro rebuild time. Thanks, David Hrbáč

Some updates may depend on packages that are part of the next minor version, so you either have to decide if you release parts of the upcoming version or to wait. In such a case I personally would prefer to wait.

I guess the best strategy is to release as soon as 'possible'(*).

(*) Where 'possible' means something quicker than 2 months after Red Hat :)
