[CentOS-announce] CentOS-5.6 Continuous Release i386 and x86_64
The CentOS-5.6 Continuous Release ( CR ) repository is now available on mirror.centos.org. This repository contains rpms to be included in the next CentOS-5.x release. Because these include security and bugfix updates, we strongly recommend everyone using CentOS-5 install and update their system using this repository. --------------------- Download and Install: Installing the CR repository needs a manual step. You must download the correct centos-release-cr rpm and install it on your machine, this would setup the CentOS-CR.repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d/ i386: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.6/cr/i386/RPMS/centos-release-cr-5-6.el5.centos.1.i386.rpm md5: 67bbeb40cb77a91379847074667d2956 sha256: 50cd9f3d35b391a9009a9caae80182dcfccfa5abaf4ff4ef5f4d880bcf26b04c x86_64: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.6/cr/x86_64/RPMS/centos-release-cr-5-6.el5.centos.1.x86_64.rpm md5: c447f54818a657a9dfd7fdd28a28cfcc sha256: dab390a0fca17612e438b215fc90448ebcef982e96e25cbea8426f00edc8b7a5 Notes: - All rpms in the CR repo are signed with the main distro key - We hope to have the 5.7 Release ready in the next 7 to 10 days - All updates released since 5.7 upstream, will also be added to the CR repo in the next 24 hrs - Once 5.7 is released, the 5.6/cr/ repositories will be removed ( they will not be available on vault.centos.org ) - We will create and test a migration path from 5.6/cr to 5.7/os. Everyone running regular updates will automatically be moved to the 5.7 release repositories once they are available on the mirrors. - Baseurl for the CR repo is set to only use centos.org internal machines, this is to reduce the amount of time we need to spend in seeding and then managing external mirrors. - All contents in the CR repo will be announced into a separate announcement list; once 5.7 is released the announcements will be re-sent to the centos-announce list. Comments and feedback are always welcome. Enjoy! -- Karanbir Singh The CentOS Project irc: z00dax, #centos at irc.freenode.net

However nothing new shows in /etc/yum.repos.d Looking at it, the downloaded file, I notice a catalogue-file string of /./etc/yum.repos.d/ Where has the file gone ? In /root/.xsession-errors I noticed this (no date or time in the file): Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/system-install-packages", line 34, in ? from rhpl.exception import installExceptionHandler File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/rhpl/exception.py", line 50, in ? from rhpl.translate import _ File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/rhpl/translate.py", line 132 except IOError: ^ TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation Is it related ? -- With best regards, Paul.
