[EPEL-devel] transitioning packages to EPEL version
Hi all, I have previously installed backuppc 3.1.0 from centos 5 testing. The package is now not maintaned by centos anymore. EPEL have BackupPC version 3.3.0, but yum check-update did not suggest that this package is a replacement for the backuppc package by centos How do I transition the backuppc centos to BackupPC EPEL? I'm not planning to perform re-installation, as this machine have a lot of configuration done to arrive at its condition now. Any idea?

At least not according to package name (hint: package names are case-sensitive). The requisite Obsoletes: tag is most probably missing as well in the EPEL package. How do I transition the backuppc centos to BackupPC EPEL? You have to either fix the EPEL package .spec file yourself and rebuild or file a bug against the package.

Or backup configs, erase old package, install new package, restore configs.
