Title: Yum software update 7rc2 ???
Post by: d6hq on May 02, 2006, 04:36:34 PM

Quoting gordonr in his 7rc2 notification

"Note: This release will also be made available for yum updates, but beware - the update is large due to the change to the CentOS 4.3 base."

Is this the reason that 7rc1 reports that software updates are available but on clicking "Install Available Updates" there is nothing available to install as yet? Just how large is large?

Something in the order of 170MB.

The problem is reported in the Bug Tracker:  Bug 1261 (http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1261)

Based on this, I upgraded via the ISO download route.  It went very smoothly, no problems at all.

I did yesterday a yum upgrade and it needed to download about 110 MB and it went super.

I also downloaded the iso but just tried a upgrade and I have now 2 boxes upgraded to SME7rc2.

(thanx to everyone who is putting all the time and affort into this server)

Ok its a bug and I should have looked there first. However its a fairly significant one I would say given that a misguided manual attempt to sort it could result in a complete system crash? Surely it deserves a notification in the main forum in its own right.

I too did a manual update using the command line. Worked great. Took about 30 minutes

No. The whole point of having the bug tracker is so that there is one place to look for issues and one place to report them. Please help the development team by using the bug tracker.
