I guess "ideally" didn't happen :) Because I definitely have newer packages installed under Fedora 13 than I would get if syncing to Fedora 14. Is this caused by just luck that the same upstream patches made it though to F13 updates before it did to F14? If there's nothing in the updates processes to prevent this, it is likely to happen to other people as well; and perhaps with different sets of packages depending on when they do the update from 13 to 14. Also, what if I didn't know to do the distribution-synchronization ?? It certainly wasn't done for me. Since I currently have a handful of Fedora 13 packages still on my system; then in the future when newer patches do eventually come out for Fedora 14; will a plain "yum update" have updated those, or are they stuck in Fedora 13 land? And if this is not automatic, then it would be very easy for lots of people out there who've done an upgrade to have a few (random?) packages installed that will "silently" not get properly updated with future patches! -- Deron Meranda http://deron.meranda.us/ -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
