So, having a bunch of RHEL4 systems, I'm used to running "up2date"
for various software installation and upgrade tasks, and I feel
pretty comfortable with it, which is why RHEL5, which we're just
starting to deploy, switched to "yum."
Can anyone point me to an "idiot's guide" for going from up2date to yum?
Specifically, I'm used to doing things like:
up2date --dry-run foobar
... to see if the package foobar is available, and what its
dependancies are
up2date -u
... to update all the currently installed "non-kernel" RPMs already
on the systems
up2date -uf
... to update everything, including the kernel and kernel-module RPMs
Thanks,
