I am absolutely in favor of a "continuous release" CentOS 6 that's permanent. For a lot of CentOS users, I think there's no real advantage to holding back between minor versions and this avoids the need for users to knowingly opt-in to retain access to constant security updates. We don't really need updated media since our kickstart files always just pull in the updates repo (and now CR also). Updated media as a slower process in the background is fine with my company. As a mirror we certainly have the space to do this. I would hope this can be done with hard-linking to reduce the space demands on others where space is more of an issue. -- Kevin Stange Chief Technology Officer Steadfast Networks http://steadfast.net Phone: 312-602-2689 ext. 203 | Fax: 312-602-2688 | Cell: 312-320-5867 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
