I am pleased to announce general availability of the Feb 2015 snapshot
for CentOS Linux. Todays release includes CentOS Linux 7 iso based
install media, Generic Cloud images, Atomic Host and Docker containers.

CentOS Linux rolling builds are point in time snapshot media rebuild
from original release time, to include all updates pushed to
mirror.centos.org's repositories. This includes all security, bugfix,
enhancement and general updates for CentOS Linux. Machines installed
from this media will have all these updates pre-included and will look
no different when compared with machines installed with older media
that have been yum updated to the same point in time. All rpm/yum
repos remain on mirror.centos.org with no changes in either layout or
content.

Files marked as 20150228_01 indicate that it includes all content
released to mirror.centos.org upto ( and including ) the 28th of Feb
2015.

Since there is a need to test these images, the release will always
lag few days behind the datestamp ( and therefore content included )
in the release. My aim is to automate as much of this as possible
going forward to reduce this time lag as much as possible, however we
might not be able to remove the lag completely.

Other content formats like containers and vendor specific images will
aim to start with the same cycle as the main CentOS Linux media, but
might move to a more frequent build and release cycle if needed.
Special Interest Groups ( http://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup)
wanting to do media and installer releases should also consider using
the rolling timelines to sync with.
