Re: Fedora + Yum + 8.1
I am running Fedora core 4 with nightly "yum" update. Presently it is not picking up version 8.1 as an upgrade. 1) If I wait will 8.1 get added to the "yummy" list or 2) If I add 8.1 via the RPMs will future releases be maintained by "yum" or do future upgrades have to continue to be done manually via RPM's thanks Richard

This goes along with Red Hat's normal approach to release engineering: upgrades do not introduce any significant incompatibilities. PG 8.1 is in Fedora Rawhide == FC5-to-be. > 2) If I add 8.1 via the RPMs will future releases be maintained by "yum" > or do future upgrades have to continue to be done manually via RPM's You can forcibly install any version you like, but it won't be maintained by the Red Hat/Fedora infrastructure if you do --- at that point it's on your own head to update the package as needed. regards, tom lane

Thanks Tom. 8.1 has some very tempting features.... running it on the
windows box ... ayah but I like the lazy days approach of having yum do
the updates so guess the FC4 box will have to await the release of FC5.<br>
