I remember seeing 5.1 repositories being access for the upgrades. Is
it possible my system did not upgrade?
# uname -r
2.6.18-53.1.4.el5.centos.plus
Thanks,
Scott

This is normal behaviour. See http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/CentOS5#q8
for more information.
Hoping the problem magically goes away by ignoring it is the
"microsoft approach to programming" and should never be allowed.

Check the output of rpm -q centos-release. /etc/redhat-release isn't
updated as in previous releases.

That explanation does not make any sense to me. "CentOS release 5
(final)" means I'm current? There's not going to be any distinction
between update versions anymore?
Thanks,
Scott

I'm not sure how to read that version. To me, it says I'm on 5,
unless the 1.0 is suppose to tell me the update version.
this issue has been covered here on the list as well as on the wiki and
the issue tracker. It might be worth looking through those first.
and yes, the /etc/redhat-release file will only tell you what release
you are on. and as you yum update, that should move along to whatever is
the latest set of packages published.
if you choose to manually branch your machine off into a .z-release
line, that would be a manual choice you need to make, hopefully being
aware of the pitfalls of such a move.

5.1 (final) means you *won*t go automatically to 5.2 once available
5 (final) means you *will* always go to the latest greatest of the 5
branch (5.whatever!)
(I only read that FAQ, too ;-)
