When I started into researching this I was hoping that someone might
have written a yum plugin that would just do this. But I have not found
one anywhere.
A lot of people had cautioned me against doing an upgrade from FC5 to
FC6 also but I did not have any problems because I only installed
software using the packager and never from tarball. Here we are just
talking about switching the same modules for a version that is compiled
for 64-bits. I don't understand why that should be so traumatic. Can
you tell me exactly where you see these quirks? This is the information
I'm trying to gather so I can investigate what the specific problems
might be and account for them.
