最近一直在关注centos6.0的进展，从6月6号一直到今天的7月2日。最新进展,centos已经开始在创建最终的releaseDVD了，并且已经在往官方服务器上进行同步，在7月4号就能往外部服务器上进行同步了。
官方开发小组的jeff，在7月2号更新了一篇信息，表示最终的release已经确定完毕，不再进行延期了。原文地址为http://qaweb.dev.centos.org/qa/node/101。原文信息如下:
Quick summary: Final CentOS 6.0 compose and build of ISO images is happening now. This will happen overnight, and once it's done, it will be pushed to the staging machine which will then start syncing out to the internal centos.org mirrors. Rough estimate on the push from the staging machine to the mirrors is ~2 days. Longer version: We got through a couple more iterations today to work out some problems. Once we got through that, the packages were all signed with the new official CentOS 6 key, and pushed out to QA once more. At that point we discovered that while the RPM signatures verified OK on CentOS 6, they did not verify OK on CentOS 5. We spent some time troubleshooting this but got it worked out, resulting in a new new key. For this reason, the entire tree needs to be resigned and new ISOs created and pushed. We're not yet through with testing on the updates/ tree, but we can start getting the main os/ and isos/ pushed out to the internal mirrors in the meantime. updates/ is much smaller, so we'll be able to push it quickly once testing is complete.
简单的翻译一下:)
最新进展：现在已经在编译和生成最终的centos 6.0的iso镜像。从今天开始，只要编译完毕，就直接进行发布并且同步到centos的内部源，整个同步时间（包括内部和外部源）大概时间预计在2天以内。
具体点说，我们为解决一些问题进行了许多次开发迭代，但只要一完成，就立即使用官方key进行签名并同时送往qa组进行测试。但是我们突然发现，这些包在centos6上验证通过，但在centos5上却失败了。最后通过产生一个新的签名方法来解决这个问题，结果就是整个开发代码都需要重新进行签名，只有等这个完了之后才能进行iso的发布。
直到现在，我们还没有针对系统的update部分进行测试，不过可以先将主要的部分先同步出来，因为相对来说,update部分比较小，一旦完成测试，将立即发布。
如果不出意外，这两天就能下载到最终的centos6.0了，漫长的等待终于要结束了。可以换掉到我的fedora15了，开发用的机器，还是要稳定一点好。经常死机可不是一件好事。
