<p dir="ltr">If you have a 6.4, pull that one at a minimum.<br>
I run a local mirror of the x86_64 for 6 and 7 so the yum updates are automagic. Pushing them out from spacewalk uses a different kind of repo.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Check the kernel package updates in 6 to see if it's a cumulative updates dir or current version only.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In theory, all you need is a base release and a cumulative updates dir.</p>

<div>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)…</div>

<p dir="ltr">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.</p>

<div>I know there are a lot of CentOS users on the group, so I thought someone could answer this question….</div>
<div>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. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here is the reason I’m asking:</div>
<div>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:</div>
<div><a href="https://wiki.novell.com/index.php/SUSE_Manager/Managing_CentOS" target="_blank">https://wiki.novell.com/index.php/SUSE_Manager/Managing_CentOS</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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.</div>

<div>Thanks.</div>
