This is one approach that we can try for the future, the main issue at hand is also that these are all security updates. Also, keep in mind that most of the 5.<X>.<Y> stuff has little or no relevance once you have installed the machine - few people run 'yum -y update' from a 6 hourly cron job. Most people tend to move along a tested line. There should not be anything in the package tree's that creates any of the issues that you mention - if there are, its bad packaging. If Ver X of pkgA needs Ver >= Z of pkg B to work, that should be reflected in the package manifests at the rpm level. btw, this 'upstream QA' thing you speak of - are you sure it exists ? :) -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219@icq _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
