You do realize that Red Hat just updates the latest minor release till some point in time when they decide, okay that's now our new minor release? Then there won't be any new updates for the old minor release. You could look into the EUS channels where minor releases get updates for up to 24 months: https://access.redhat.com/articles/rhel-eus Regards Sebastian > > Regards, > > Mike > --- > Mike Shaw - Linux Systems Administrator > ITS - Production Operations - PaaS > Phone-919.541.6003 Skype-live:mdshaw89 > RTI International > ms...@rti.org<mailto:ms...@rti.org> > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Spacewalk-list mailing list > Spacewalk-list@redhat.com > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list > -- Sebastian Meyer Linux Consultant & Trainer Mail: me...@b1-systems.de B1 Systems GmbH Osterfeldstraße 7 / 85088 Vohburg / http://www.b1-systems.de GF: Ralph Dehner / Unternehmenssitz: Vohburg / AG: Ingolstadt,HRB 3537 _______________________________________________ Spacewalk-list mailing list Spacewalk-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list
