[ale] CentOS repositories question

[Beddingfield, Allen]

Ah, that makes sense!  So, I need to pull down the individual ones if I have, say a 6.4?  I’m thinking bad things could happen if I associate an older one with the current release’s updates (6)…

The '6' repo is the latest in the 6 series. The 6.2 only has the release and patches for that exact version. That's why there's a 6.0 in the repo.

I know there are a lot of CentOS users on the group, so I thought someone could answer this question….
Do the /centos/6/os/x86_64 and /centos/6/updates/x86_64 repos have all of the 6.x updates, or are these just for the 6.0 release?  I noticed that there are variations for /centos/6.1/os/x86_64, /centos/6.1/updates/x86_64, all the way through 6.6.

Here is the reason I’m asking:
I’m finally getting around to pulling in the updates into our SUSE Manager server (Spacewalk-based), and I’m needing to pull down the repos into channels.  Here is a brief description of that process:

Do I actually need to pull down a separate set for 6 through 6.6, if I have systems at all those various releases, or will pulling down just “6” cover it?  I was under the impression that it was the case, until I started poking around on one of the mirrors and found specific ones for each release.  I would just try it and find out, but it takes quite a while to pull one of these repos down.

Thanks.
