I thought the CR repo usually holds all updates with the exception of centos-release, or are there more updates to come? I had the impression that in the past, the final release brought only cosmetic changes with the centos-release being updated. Regards, Simon

If CR has issues, as you say you'd expect 7.6 to have problems. If things are failing with CR updates, you really want to investigate what's going on. jh

So if there are issues with CR, using the list and bugs.centos.org would be good. BTW : the goal of CR is exactly to find those issues earlier and then write Release Notes with workarounds/warnings -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 56BEC54E | twitter: @arrfab -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
