Just a message to remind everyone that CentOS-5 has an End of Life date of March 31, 2017. This means that there will be no new security updates released by Red Hat for RHEL-5 after that date. Sometime in early April, the current 5.11 tree will be moved onto vault.centos.org (like CentOS-3 and CentOS-4 have been since their EOL).

We want people to understand that CentOS-5 is no longer active. There is a CentOS-Vault.repo file that one can use, or people can change it manually. If it happens automatically, well then people will just leave it in place. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I have a number of installations that need to continue running CentOS 5 so I'd like to do a final update before the tree moves.> Thanks, > Johnny Hughes >Thanks Tom Munro Glass
