I had to re-install my RHL ES3 servers again, actually twice. The software I wish to use looks for squid installed as an RPM to the server. Since I already know that the squid rpm install from RHL is buggy, I want install this and then immediately upgrade to 2.5Stable11, Is it possible to upgrade to Stable11 without first removing the 2.5stable3.6, Will this break the RPM relationship with the OS. I know I can fake this out, by removing and installing 11, but then the relationship is gone.
The 2.5.STABLE11 RPM from Fedora 3 should work on RHES as well I think, but you probably will need to rebuild it from the source RPM (recommended anyway).
Upgrading should be completely painless once you have a RHES 3 RPM of 2.5.STABLE11. Just a normal RPM upgrade operation.
Fetch the Source RPM from Fedora updates Build a RHES RPM by running rpmbuild -ba squid-2.5.STABLE11-xxx.src.rpm Then upgrade your OS with the freshly built RPM. Regards Henrik
