[BESAdmin-Announcements] IBM BigFix Patch: Reminder: Patches for CentOS 5 and Patches for CentOS 6 sites are deprecating on December 31, 2016

[Announcements for BES Administrators]

As previously announced, the ‘Patches for CentOS 5’ and ‘Patches for 
CentOS 6’ sites are to be deprecated by December 31, 2016. These sites are 
being replaced by the 'Patches for CentOS 5 Native Tools' and the 'Patches 
for CentOS 6 Native Tools' sites, which are more efficient at handling 
third-party packages.

Baselines and custom sites that are associated with the non-native tools 
sites are affected by this change. The source Fixlets will still be 
visible, but no new content will be provided. Support will also no longer 
be provided for the non-native tools sites beyond the stated date. 

Actions to take:
Subscribe your endpoints to the following CentOS Linux sites to avoid any 
disruption during patching:
* Patches for CentOS 5 Native Tools site
* Patches for CentOS 6 Native Tools site

If you are using baselines or custom sites, you must create new ones with 
the native tools sites.
