We have not released 7.4.1708 yet .. so the 7/ on all the mirrors still
points to 7.3.1611  .. so you can't really use the default
CentOS-Base.repo file for 7.4.1708 yet

One way is to enable the CR repo (as already pointed out), that has
almost all of the 7.4.1708 tree in it (minus anaconda and centos-release
and their dependencies).  That would be the easiest way at this point.
It should make most things work.  Although, the comps.xml file (the
thing that controls group installs) is different between 7.3.1611 and
7.4.1708.

OR

If you see a mirror that has 7.4.1708 on it (most, including
mirror.centos.org don't and won't until we complete the release cycle ..
sometime later this week, probably Wednesday or Thursday) .. but if you
see a mirror with that branch, you can remark out the "mirrorlist=" line
and enable the "baseurl=" line in each repo and change the url line to
replace /$releasever/ to /7.4.1708/ on each of the baseurl ..

OR

You can wait until we actually release 7.4.1708.  It would be best if
you waited .. because:

We still need to give the Special Interest Groups (SIGs), via the
Community Build System (https://cbs.centos.org/) and the CI system
(https://ci.centos.org) access to 7.4.1708 so that they can make sure
this release works with their software.

If we have any issues found in that process, we may still submit changes
to the 7.4.1708 tree, so the ones that exist now MAY NOT be the final
tree, we are just trying to sync out what we have to mirrors so the
final tree will not take so long to sync later.

We are syncing the current tree out at 'chmod 700' .. so the only way it
would be visible is if the user used to sync the tree was also the owner
of the httpd process.  Just to reiterate, that tree may not be the final
tree, but it should be very, very close.

We will announce (on this mailing list and the centos-announce mailing
list) when the 7.4.1708 tree has been fully tested and usable.


Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
