Thanks! Are there any things in http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/YumUpgradeFaq#head-bdd1ed4a339aa22c95c238af0e3323c0bccf6167 that you would not/did not do? I.E. These are the steps they mention: # yum install yum-utils; package-cleanup --orphans # yum clean all # rpm -Uhv ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Fedora/i386/os/Fedora/fedora-release-*.noarch.rpm (does that last line get changed to ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/test/7.92/Fedora/i386/os/Packages/fedora-release-*.noarch.rpm ?) # yum upgrade # yum install yum-utils; package-cleanup --orphans -----Original Message----- From: fedora-test-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-test-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of seth vidal Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2007 1:55 PM To: For testers of Fedora Core development releases Subject: Re: Upgrade from FC7 to FC8 test3 via yum On Tue, 2007-10-16 at 11:53 -0400, Arch Willingham wrote: > For a variety of reasons, I can't physically get to some of our FC7 > machines but I log into them via putty.

There may be some occasional hangups but given the f7-f8 update set it's not much that will be very painful at all. I've done about 5 of them so far and in general they're pretty smooth - just make sure you're on the latest yum from f7-updates-testing and on the latest rpm before you proceed. -sv -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
