The packages that will become CentOS-6.7, as well as updates completed for CentOS-6.7 to date are now released into the CentOS-6.6 Continuous Release (CR) repository. All packages except for the centos-release RPM are included. The purpose of the CR repository is to make the built packages optionally available to users who opt in while we work on the CentOS-6.7 install tree and all the CentOS-6.7 install media and images. Normally the full release follows the CR release in 7-14 days if you do not use the CR process. For more info on the CR repository, see this link: http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CR If you want to enable CR on CentOS-6.6, use the command: yum install centos-release-cr You would then get the updates with the command: yum upgrade Known issues: 1. sssd-common is no longer multilib in CentOS 6.7. If you have the 32bit sssd-common installed on your x86_64 system, you will need to remove it with yum remove sssd-common.i686 prior to updating. 2. The boost RPMs are built with cmake-2.8 and the configuration files produced cause issues building some source code. There are an upstream bugs here (which is likely NOT being fixed): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=849791 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1245805 and there are related CentOS issues found previously: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=8117 If you are using boost to create packages, you can use the switch: "-DBoost_NO_BOOST_CMAKE=ON" To build sources that exhibit this issue. 3. The satyr package from EPEL is newer than the version included in CentOS-6.7. The package from EPEL seems to work OK as well, but they are likely to remove it as it also conflicts with RHEL-6.7. We have not observed any negative impacts from this issue. 4. yum-plugin-downloadonly has been obsoleted by yum and that functionality is now built into the default yum package. More information: 1. These CentOS packages are built from the RHEL-6.7 source code released by Red Hat on July 22, 2015.
