Since yesterday after midday (around), no longer able to upgrade or install packages from “Software Center” or yum.
The reason is listed here: http://centos.muzzy.it/6.6/readme
the solution is to change /var/cache/yum/x86_64/6/centos-base/mirrorlist.txt
replacing 6.6 with 6
"This directory (and version of CentOS) is deprecated. For normal users,
you should use /6/ and not /6.6/ in your path. Please see this FAQ
concerning the CentOS release scheme:
IMO there’s a “conceptual” bug…
Since there are no higher and medium release changes for daemons in centos’ update (it’a a rh’s policy), we should not care about the upgrades and let the repos point to the last/more updated version…
Otherwise, any time centos guys release a new version, we’ll suffer the same issue.
Moreover, NS works like a sw layer and takes care of generate conf files, so no issues at all should be expected
@zamboni, you describe a perfect world, but it doesn’t exist, we’re all humans and we make mistakes.
I don’t expect problems from 6.7, but I prefer to have controlled testing before breaking all systems.
