Hello,
After some intense investigation, I believe our best plan for NetworkManager
on SL 50, 51, and 52 is to downgrade their NetworkManager to the original
version that came with the respective releases.
In order to downgrade in a nice manner, the rpm names are going to have to be
a little long, and there are going to be two of them.
0.7.0-4.sl5_0.0.6.4 - for SL50 and 51 - really version 0.6.4
0.7.0-4.sl5_2.0.6.4 - for SL52 - really version 0.6.4 that came with SL52
If anyone has a better naming scheme that works, or has any better ideas on
how to fix all the problems the update caused, please let me know.
To test
SL50, SL51, SL52
-------
yum --enablerepo=sl-testing update NetworkManager\*
(Note: This will install the version for SL52)
or you can download rpm's by hand at
http:
//ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/5rolling/testing/i386/NetworkManager/
http:
//ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/5rolling/testing/x86_64/NetworkManager/
SL50 and 51
NetworkManager-0.7.0-4.sl5_0.0.6.4.i386.rpm
NetworkManager-0.7.0-4.sl5_0.0.6.4.x86_64.rpm
SL52
NetworkManager-0.7.0-4.sl5_2.0.6.4.i386.rpm
NetworkManager-0.7.0-4.sl5_2.0.6.4.x86_64.rpm
If those count as newer than:
NetworkManager-0.7.0-4.el5_3.i386.rpm
NetworkManager-0.7.0-4.el5_3.x86_64.rpm
then you will probably also need to release a version for sl53 (with
'sl5_3' as the dist tag) or anyone attempting to upgrade from sl52 to 53
won't get the expected (new) version of NetworkManager. Or am I missing
some cunning trick?
I've recently been going round removing NetworkManager from quite a few
machines where it had been pulled in by accident... (oops)

Hi Jon,
I already have it made, but I'm not putting it into the testing area
because it would be the one people get instead of the others. But thank
you for noticing and pointing it out.
The one that will go out to SL 5.3 will be
NetworkManager-0.7.0-4.sl5_3.i386.rpm
