  • This is the first time I’ve installed updates from CR. I did this on 6.7
    in virtualbox. When I reboot, it still says 6.7. When I run lsb_release
    -a, it is still 6.7. Are they supposed to say 6.7? Does this change when it is official in 10-21 days?

    Thanks,

    Yes, and yes.

    When we released the official 6.8 tree and isos, they will have a new CentOS-release rpm.

    If you continue to run updates against the CR repo, that will be the only update you get when you switch.

    I just did this update yesterday and everything is great! Thank you all for a wonderfully simple update process.

    My lsb_release -a output says 6.8 but this was 10 days after the former post.

    You are very welcome.

    Yes, the final release is done now, so the CentOS-release for 6.8 is in there.
