Should be. I've wondered the same thing, although not in the context of drakautoinst. Debian (for instance) allows you to do a dist-upgrade (aka apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade). It seemes that one could do the equivalernt -- at least with respect to Cooker, by urpmi --auto-select. But that's fine if you want to mirror what is in cooker, but what if you want to migrate to 9.1rc2, or another version? Would it be as simple as finding a source that was a "reference" standard for the particular release candidate, adding it to your urpmi source list, and then doing an update followed by a urpmi --auto-select?
