You could upgrade to FC5 and later upgrade to CentOS 5?
Will most likely not work as expected : FC5 updates are going to out
strip the E-V-R for similar packages in EL5. And there is the issue of
orphan packages that in turn might be required based on installed role.
And that won't happen when he stays at FC4 and then upgrades to CentOS
when it comes out? I have to say I don't exactly understand what you're
saying there though. I guess that if Florin wants a nice clean CentOS 5
system it might better to reinstall.
sorry for not being very clear... here is the same thing in -vv mode :)
FC5 installed and then updated with all released packages will contain
packages that will by the time CentOS-5 is out there, already be newer
than whats included in CentOS-5. Which will create problems since those
packages will then not get yum updated to whats in the centos-5 repo's.
Add to this the problem of orphans - there might be packages in the
installed system that are not included in CentOS-5 at all! There will
need to be an audit and work out what these packages are - and if they
are even required on the machine.
