ok, so what do you mean by sticking to 5.0 ? you mean you dont want any
updates at all for those machines, even if they might be security issues ?
(I also replied to David's message)
No. I'm trying to understand where does 5.0 stand now that 5.1 is out
- should I abandon 5.0 and upgrade to 5.1 if I want to stick to
secure, stable releases or is 5.0 going to be maintained in parallel
to 5.0 for security issues?
I think your confusion comes from the fact that you consider 5.1 to be a
new release, and not what it really is : 5.0 + updates + some bug fix's.
I suggest you read up on how the whole EL codebase moves.
I now noticed the last sentence saying "you are in the update release
stream for the 5.1 series and you will not move to a newer release
without making changes to the yum config.". What kind of changes does
this refer to? Overriding the $releasever in the repository URL's to
hard-coded "5.0" or what?
no, when branches are created - they will involve you installing a new
centos-release rpm.
