7 thoughts on - Recent Updates For CentOS7?

• 7.3 is being worked on, hence the pause. I think they are close but I
  don’t speak for them.

• Many hundreds of 7.3 updates have been released into the CR repository, and got installed here Wednesday.

• Correct. All the new RPMs that will make up the 7.3.1611 os/ tree (that is, the rebuild of the sources for what was on the RHEL 7.3 isos .. prior to updates) is released into CR.

  Some things missing are Anaconda (we almost always need to modify that when we create our ISOs and build the full 7.3.1611 OS tree and install ISOs), CentOS-release (will be in the main tree), and the libreport/sos/abrt RPMs to automate bug reports (because they need significant work).

  I plan on doing all the updates (already built .. but still in testing)
  that RH as released source code for into CR later today.

  Then we will commence work on the OS tree and ISOs. Historically, this takes 10-21 days for the full tree and ISOs .. but except for the exceptions listed above, all the packages will be in CR.

  Thanks, Johnny Hughes

• Johnny,

  Thank you, and all the others, for all the hard work. My family photos website wouldn’t be possible without it.

  I have a question, what about the Plus kernel, when will that get updated?

• I’ve submitted the source rpm to Johnny. It is now up to him to find the time to build them. :-)

• We have no delivery mechanism for the new plus kernel, which relies on
  7.3 (or CR) packages until we actually release the 7.3.1611 tree and CentOSplus repo for that tree.

  I can build that kernel tomorrow and make it available if you really, really meed it before the full 7.3 tree.

• Thanks, but there’s no rush. Things work fine with the previous version just fine.
