<div>Jim's correct. This bit us once. We had systems set to update from "6" and were quite surprised when one of the packages we needed got updated. We changed to mirroring the 6.0 branch and everything was fine.<br>

<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>
