With a Yum-based distribution upgrade, you typically perform an upgrade in two steps. First you update to the right "fedora-release" package, so variables like $releasever used in your *.repo files expand to '11' instead of '10'. Then you run a plain "yum update", which automatically chooses the Fedora 11 repos. Alternatively, you hardcode the baseurls of the repos you want to upgrade to.

With Yum? Yes. The more packages in F11 Updates, the more likely you need them in order to replace your F10 Updates, which may be seen as newer than F11 GA. Same applies to Test Updates. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
