I have a question regarding the various RPM repos for the SL6.
Some of the repos have a major.minor version number:
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6.0/
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6.1/
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6.2/
And then there are repos for the '6' and '6x' releases:
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6/
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6x/
and a repo named '6rolling':
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6rolling/
My questions:
- What are the differences between these different kinds of repos?
- When should I be tracking the '6' repository vs the 6.2 repository vs. the '6rolling' repository?
- What is 6rolling? Is it similar to the Fedora Rawhide development tree?
With
CentOS 5 and SL5, there was never a repository named '5' or '5x', and I
am just trying to become more familiar with the new way of doing
things.
Forgive me for asking what might be a simple question. But I cannot find
any description of the 6rolling or 6x repos on www.scientificlinux.org, or
https://www.scientificlinux.org/documentation/faq/ .
Thank you,
-= Stefan
