No more updates for v6.1. This is the RedHat/CentOS model. Think of the minor version numbers as 'service packs', as opposed to releases. For example, let X < Y. Then, Everything fixed in 6.x is also fixed in 6.y. However, updates new to v6.y are not made available for v6.x. ----- Original Message -----> From: "Edward Martinez" <edwardm1 at live.com> > To: "CentOS mailing list" <centos at centos.org> > Sent: Wednesday, December 21, 2011 2:31:19 PM > Subject: [CentOS] Will CentOS 6.1 still be supported? > > Hello, > > > Got a question, will CentOS6.1 continue to be supported with > updates, > or is it mandatory to upgrade to 6.2? > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos >

So if you do an 'yum update', you will see a lot of packages being updated, and you will be automatically at 6.2. Why would you stay at 6.1 ? During all the life of a major version, 6.x for example, there are the same versions of packages, only with updates. For information, Scientific Linux does not work this way. You stay at a point version, 6.1 for example, and get updates for this point release (as CR repository). You have to ask explicitly to upgrade to next point release. Alain

Apply them and you have 6.2... Think of the point releases as a large collection of updates. -- Bowie
