This is my first major version update after using a local repo. It seems that before I can "yum update" I have to fetch the complete new 5.2 base? Is this correct? When I run yum update it now fails with various strange dependency errors although all the updates are synced. When I change to using the original repo file it wants to download many many more and shows a lot of files that are in base and not in updates.

Is this correct? >You can build your base repo from the iso images via Nautilus. Right click on the iso image file and open with the Archive Manager, then extract the contents to a directory. You will have to set permissions to the created directories to 755. Then do an rsync to the mirror base, you will pick a few fixes. Building your 5.2/update repo directory is about a 900Mb download. No easy way around this. BTW, I have done all this this week.> When I run yum update it now fails with various strange dependency errors > although all the updates are synced.

The new base is actually "5.2", and updates are merely packages released _since_ upstream released 5.2 a month ago.
