Yesterday I tried upgrading yoyride to Fedora 8, to see how much pain it would be.
After enabling the fedora repo in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo and tweaking it to make it fetch from version 8, I just did: init 3 yum -y dist-upgrade --exclude poppler init 5 Going to init 3 is necessary to conserve memory, otherwise yum fights with sugar and cranks the system to death. Excluding poppler precents a dependency problem in our custom package. Surprisingly, everything worked perfectly after the update, until I rebotted. Then I got into a minor glitch that prevents input hotplug from working when the X server is run by the unprivileged user olpc (X is a suid binary). If I run X manually from the console, everything works fine. There's probably a stricter check on the EUID somewhere in dbus or in hal. -- \___/ |___| Bernardo Innocenti - http://www.codewiz.org/ \___\ One Laptop Per Child - http://www.laptop.org/ _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
