That's also why yum isn't an officially supported upgrade method. /usr move is a good example, really. It would be impossible, really, to handle it through RPM scripts/triggers alone. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
