Re: When will CentOS 4.9 be out?
Yesterday (Tuesday February 22, 2011), I received a status update from [b]Karanbir[/b] regarding the progress of [i]CentOS 4.9[/i] and he has asked me to post it to this thread.
[quote]
[b][i]4.9: is in QA. Apart from QA, we are also working on how to handle the way
upstream did a no-media point release. The threads falling out from there, in
terms of corner case implications, are running into many dozens. Ideally we
want to do something with the 4.9 release that has the least possible impact
on the installed base.[/i][/b]
[/quote]
As users of [i]CentOS 4[/i] are aware, its EOL is approaching (Feb 29, 2012) and, thus, this point update [i]could[/i] be the last. In view of the approaching EOL, the [b]Upstream Vendor[/b] [1] has not created the ISO-image media for this release. It is this latter fact that the [i]CentOS[/i] development team are currently resolving, as indicated in the last two sentences of [b]KB[/b]'s status update, above.

Re: When will CentOS 4.9 be out?
From my latest status update discussion with [b]Karanbir[/b], this is the current situation --
[code]
[i]We should have 4.9 out either today or tomorrow and then 5.6 immediately after
that, as the mirror traffic clears out. Should not be too long given that the actual
update delta from 4.8 -> 4.9 is exceptionally small. ( It's under 300 MB per mirror! )[/i]
[/code]
I'm sure that I do not have to remind readers that "slippage" can still occur. So [b]my[/b] "guestimate" is [i]CentOS 4.9[/i] by the end of this week and [i]CentOS 5.6[/i] at the beginning of next week.
