For C6 users:

• If you want to update to xen-46, and also get further updates automatically:

yum install centos-release-xen-46

Would this be instead (to get latest and always stay one latest):

yum remove centos-release-xen44 centos-release-xen46 yum install centos-release-xen

(instead of installing centos-release-xen46)

Long-term, yes. :-) But for the time being, centos-release-xen still points to 4.4, so if you want 4.6, you have to install the 46 package.

The idea is to give people currently on 4.4, who may want to *stay* on 4.4, a window to notice (and test) the new centos-release-xen-44 package before having centos-release-xen automatically update.
