You really can't go by that. While it turns out for F12 there was a mass rebuild and there were only a handful of packages that still had fc11 in the release name, in general that doesn't have to be true. "package-cleanup --orphans" can be used to find all installed packages that are not in any enabled repository. This is very useful for doing clean up after upgrading using yum and to a lesser extent if you use updates-testing or rawhide where specific versions of packages can get dropped, orphaned or have conflicts blocking upgrades. You just get a list of orphans when you. That doesn't tell you what to do with them. In some cases an update might be available but blocked by a missing dependency or conflict. The packages might be dropped and should be removed. They might be stuff you added manually that isn't in a repository, but that you still want to keep. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
