Hi all,
I build a repo with Xen and a EL6 kernel for a Xen Dom0 and I'm hoping to pick
the brain of a few gurus here on sorting a few things out that I've broken.
Until now, I've been packaging in a repo file in a kernel-xen package which
goes in /etc/yum.repos.d/. Due to a lot of changes in mirrors etc, I've
decided to split this out into a seperate package called kernel-xen-release.
My problem now is trying to figure out how to handle upgrades between:
kernel-xen-2.6.32.55-3.x86_64 to kernel-xen-2.6.32.55-4.x86_64
-3 has the file /etc/yum.repos.d/kernel-xen.repo, -4 does not.
Now I've made kernel-xen have kernel-xen-release as a Requires: in the
kernel-xen spec - however when you try to upgrade, yum wants to install
kernel-xen-release BEFORE upgrading to -4 - causing a conflict on
/etc/yum.repos.d/kernel-xen.repo
Now, I tried adding a Conflicts in kernel-xen-release as such:
Conflicts: kernel-xen < 2.6.32.55-4
Normally one would do an Obsoletes: kernel-xen < 2.6.32.55-4. Might be funny
if you are needed multiple kernels installed.
