Release Notes for Scientific Linux 6.3
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've done quite a few updates from 6.0 to 6.1 and 6.1 to 6.2. Just
tried it on a 6.2 system and it's complaining about packages already
installed. Should this be possible or will I need to do full blown
re-installs?
This was a script I used for 6.1 to 6.2 updates.
------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
# Do a slow upgrade of SL minor release
sed -i 's/sl61/sl62/' /etc/yum.conf
yum clean all
sleep 2
yum -y --releasever=6.2 update \*yum\*
sleep 2
cp /<automounted directory>/repo/sl62/sl62-base/Packages/autofs*.rpm /root/
yum -y --releasever=6.2 localupdate /root/autofs*.rpm
\rm /root/autofs*.rpm
sleep 2
for i in {a..z}
do
yum --releasever=6.2 -y update --skip-broken ${i}\*
sleep 3
done
yum --releasever=6.2 -y update --skip-broken
------------------------------------------------------------------
I use a local mirror and some automounts which is why I manually updated
autofs.
