Because once upstream releases the point release all updates are against the new point release. CR is a temporary way of getting the next point release out before the ISOs are finished.. As the announcement states, when CentOS 5.7 is released, the CR repo will be emptied, because all those packages will be part of CentOS 5.7. -- William Hooper _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
