Re: Kernel availability
It's not an update but the 7.6 GA kernel, so it's in http://vault.centos.org/centos/7.6.1810 ... SPackages/
Re: Kernel availability
Has something changed in the repos that are used? we use that repo for our automated deployments and if something is now different we will need to change our script.
Re: Kernel availability
You may have missed that 7.6.1810 was released about a week ago. That may affect things.
Re: Kernel availability
Yes I did see that it was released on Dec 3. I guess what I am asking is will the update eventually be available in the http://vault.centos.org/centos/7/update ... SPackages/ repo?
Thanks
Thanks
Re: Kernel availability
It won't because that was the original 7.6 kernel so is in base (a.k.a /os/) not in updates.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Re: Kernel availability
Gotcha.... I just noticed that myself. Thanks for your help!!!!!
Re: Kernel availability
One last thing with the http://vault.centos.org/centos/7/update ... SPackages/ no longer be updated with fixes?
Re: Kernel availability
Yes, as updates come out for 7.6 the SRPMs will be pushed to the updates directory on vault.

Re: Kernel availability
To hopefully clarify, all kernels that were used on 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, ..., 7.6 installation media are placed in the "os" directory of each respective point release. All kernel updates that happen during the lifecycle of each point release are placed in the "updates" directory for each respective point release.
When 7.7.19xx gets released, its kernel will be in 7.7.19xx/os and any update kernels released afterwards will be in 7.7.19xx/updates, until 7.8.xxxx comes around and the cycle repeats.
Maybe it would be more failsafe if you used the exact version number like 7.6.1810 instead of 7 in your scripts.
