Hi Seth, Wow, the first user request since 1.0 was released :) Do I get to say First Post or something like that. We've had a couple of users ask that they be able to put a package name or package glob after upgrade. They (and I) understand that in order for upgrade to work, it has to look through the whole repository and figure everything out, so it can see what obsoletes what, but there are times when they don't want to upgrade the whole thing, but just parts. One example is when our users want to just upgrade their kde and they are using Fermi Linux 7.1.1. Now the original Fermi Linux 7.1.1 has kde 2.2, but our Fermi Linux 71rolling has kde 3.0.5. In that change, there are a few packages whose names have changed drastically. The worst was kdesupport changed into two packages, the main one being calle pcre. If they do an yum upgrade it figures all that out and know's it's supposed to install pcre instead of kdesupport, but it also things it's supposed to do things like replace their patched ssh, with openssh, which they would have a bit of a fit about. Anyway, I'm sure there is a reason that you don't have any package options on yum upgrade, but if those reasons are trivial, we would like to request being able to do 'yum upgrade [package]' Thanks Troy -- __________________________________________________ Troy Dawson dawson@xxxxxxxx (630)840-6468 Fermilab ComputingDivision/OSS CSI Group __________________________________________________
