Hi, I was wondering if RHEL 4 already available is...and the CentOS version. I am running Centos 4 beta but I did not receive any updates from January - now..and I saw a bunch of RHEL 4 errata updates today. Thanks for your answer. -- Michiel

I'm sure the gnomes or keebler elves, or whoever recompiles Centos are hard at work trying to get a beta out the door this week sometime. My thanks go out to the Centos team! -Mike
RHEL 4 has only been officially released today at LinuxWorld . (See press release: http://www.redhat.com/about/presscenter/2005/press_rhel4.html ) Expect CentOS 4 to be released shortly... after all the SRPMs are compiled up and some 'Cent-Magic' occurs over the redhat-*.src.rpms. 'Shortly' can be defined between now - 1 week... though I expect these guys are already compiling it up. (More than happy to stand corrected!). I'm looking forward to CentOS 4 myself... a big improvement and some funky new features. :) I too played with CentOS 4 Beta... I didn't expect updates... due to it's beta status... I'm hoping that Beta users can upgrade to the final version. :) Let's see how the next few days pan out... Cheers, Matt.

Give it at least a few hours [days?]. The RHEL SRPMS only went live sometime yesterday - they have to be downloaded and then it can take some amount of CPU time to rebuild everything and then to spin new ISO images. I am guessing that Johnny Hughes or others in the Centos realm are already rebuilding them at this moment. If you have a box where the errata are urgently needed (its a beta, thus it shouldn't be exposed thus security errata shouldn't be urgent, but that is a lot of "shouldn't") you ought to be able to rebuild the RHEL SRPMS yourself by downloading the relevant SRPMS from RH and then using "rpmbuild --rebuild <file.srpm>" where file.srpm is the srpm you downloaded. regards, -Ryan On Tue, 15 Feb 2005, Michiel van Es wrote:> Hi, > I was wondering if RHEL 4 already available is...and the CentOS version. > I am running Centos 4 beta but I did not receive any updates from January - > now..and I saw a bunch of RHEL 4 errata updates today. > > Thanks for your answer. >-- Ryan Sweet <ryan.sweet at aoes.com> Advanced Operations and Engineering Services AOES Group BV http://www.aoes.com Phone +31(0)71 5795521 Fax +31(0)71572 1277
