We already understand clearly what CR is, I don't understand why every time we mention ideas for changes to the CR someone feels the need to explain how it's supposed to work. We were trying to effect a change to ensure that a fresh, clean install of CentOS (any 5 release) could be pre-opted-in to CR before it actually has packages in it, simply by including centos-release-cr in %packages in our KS file (and whatever repo to pull the RPM from). > > I think maybe putting the RPM in "extras", so it is easier to install is > doable ... but not a huge issue. It had been suggested to put it into updates/ (by KB) but extras/ works as well. As long as that RPM is in a repo which is enabled by default. Now you can update your CR instructions to say "yum install centos-release-cr" to opt-in instead of having them copy a URL and manually run "rpm -i" > In fact, I have put it there. centos-release-cr is now in extras. > > You can install it from there once the mirrors sync it up. That was the point, thank you. Please try to make sure that the CR repo file is placed in extras/ during the initial release of each new revision of CentOS to avoid breaking KS files that might want to pre-opt-in. -- 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...
