That's pretty difficult to do, especially if we want to do something
like transition from python2.4 to python2.5, or the X work that Ajax is
about to start. There is a reason it's a new release and not just a
pile of updates to the old release.
But why cannot there be a group of updates based on the new python or
the new X? How do others manage these changes? Not all packages depend
on python or X so not all packages need to be updated. There must be
some support for python2.4 in 2.5 or that would require a major change
and I would expect the numbering to change to 3.0.
Don't get me wrong, I do understand this reasoning. I have tried the
upgrade via yum path with headaches and will stick with the clean
install from that point on.
I have seen Ubuntu systems installed and upgraded to current versions
very easily.
