I wanted to help you by making sure that you were on the most recent
version, but, looking at the Centos.org website I was unable to figure
out if 7.2 was the tip. 7.1503? Is that 7.2? Beats me.
CentOS 7.1511 (aka '7.2') not yet released ...
And the way I'd figure this out from the centos website is?
when it is released. Currently its in the pipeline, see also:
https://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CR
and for the numbering concept (Section: Numbering):
https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2014-July/020393.html
That numbering concept (for 7.0 at least) makes sense:
"CentOS 7.0-1406 introduces a new numbering scheme that we want to
further develop into the life of CentOS-7. The 0 component maps to the
upstream realease, whose code this release is built from. The 1406
component indicates the monthstamp of the code included in the release (
in this case, June 2014 ). By using a monthstamp we are able to respin
and reissue updated media for things like container and cloud images,
that are regularly refreshed, while still retaining a connection to the
base distro version."
Those who care about the upstream version knew that this was derived
from RHEL 7.0. Those who don't care about upstream versions but want to
track monthly rebuilds of cloud images, etc., could distinguish between
"1406" and (for example) "1407". But somewhere along the line for 7.1,
the "component that maps to the upstream release" was dropped, and we
got just 7 (1503). I don't recall seeing where or how that decision was
made; is there a link someone can provide to the relevant discussion in
centos-devel?
