If installed with 4.0, and run a 'yum upgrade' will
end up with 4.5 -- then, what are the repos configured
for yum? Are the repos the following and ONLY the
following (excluding custom ones)?
1, 4.0 base OS distro
2, 4 base OS distro (symbolic link pointing to 4.5)
3, 4 updates (symbolic link pointing to
.../4/updates/..., which means updates since 4.5
sub-release)
Is the above right? or you have even omitted #1 (4.0
base OS distro repo)? Thanks.
