But how to get these updates onto systems where the old packages are already installed (other than manually, with --force)? Do I have to dig out my old scripts from the pre yum aera?
You have a good point. Any ideas anyone?
Lots, but they all end up either reinventing up2date or hacking yum and/or rpmlib. Not very appealing :-(
But then they actually did break "rpm -U" and "yum update", so maybe that's what we're bound to do after all anyway.
I wonder whether there's a hidden switch when building rpm to make it work right with z-stream tags. If there is, the CentOS folks haven't found it either... I'm going to check whether TUV's rpm binaries get it right,
unless someone beats me to it. - Stephan -- Stephan Wiesand DESY - DV - Platanenallee 6 15738 Zeuthen, Germany
