BUT, base + updates are all the latest RPMS in the release, so no one should think that is a problem. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Can I create a /centos/install/i386 directory structure where I first rsync over the /centos/os/i386, then the /centos/update/i386, and then keep it current from both from the Centos mirrors? I would guess I would have to run createrepo myself as neither the base nor the update repodata would be right for the combined directory. I have quite a few installs to do still this week. I had been holding off on some builds, waiting for 5.2 to do them 'clean'. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Install from the current tree (5.2) and do a yum update after that.

Yet another reason for the local repos This is actually perfectly normal. If you install C5.2 from the install media you will get what upstream released a month ago. Between then and now they released different updates. These are not but on the install media but end up in the updates repository to make sure the our and upstreams install media are as identical as possible. And no, the updates repo only contains updates for the running minor release. So currently it contains updates for 5.2.

There are only 2 rpms dated Jun 18, all the rest are more recent So I would say they are all updates to 5.2. Plus the way that Johnny maintains the symlink, he would change over the the 5.2 updates the same time he changes over to the 5.2 base. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
