Which is better? Why? I know yum is the official update mechanism here and in Fedora Core, but that doesn't make yum better than up2date any more than Windows NT was better than OS/2. Let's try to keep the discussion objective:-) I'm asking, hoping for some insights into why RH might (apparently) be moving to yum in preference to up2date (yum is now used within Anaconda). Other

CentOS3.9 Users: After applying all Updates to Upgrade from CentOS 3.8 CentOS 3.9 I find up2date no longer works "correctly" (or shall I say NOT as before)... Missing is the "sources" File!!! Is this how V 4.5.5-7 is supposed to be or is the "sources" File omission an "error"??? Lawrence Houston -- (centos at greenfield.dyndns.org)

I have found a few issues with puppet and the up2date provider (version 0.22.4) that I''d like to run by those who use up2date (to see if others are experiencing the same issues). 1. Puppet doesn''t seem to find the latest updates of packages that are already installed. In looking at "/usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/provider/package/up2date.rb", I found that

Hi all, i have a problem with centos's up2date tool. I have setup a central update server with yam (http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/yam/) under CentOS-4.

CentOS uses the yum dependency solver for doing updates and not the RHN (normal) up2date mechanism. That is functionality built into up2date. Due to this difference, there is a problem with the Seamonkey upgrade to replace Mozilla using up2date on CentOS-4, because it does not see Seamonkey as obsoleting Mozilla. (This is a problem with the yum depsolver that is included in up2date). Due to

Hi Folks, as recommended I have only updated up2date , up2date-gnome.# All other packages deselected. Run uptodate - okay. But now I have no channels in up2date - I can't update my system.

Got part 1 - xx of back up working, so figured it's a good time to look for stuff to jettison... casually of course. Like paperwork, documentation, ... it's low on the priority list with GB so cheap these days. Anyway, 42M in /var/spool/up2date. Headers and such. I use only yum after my first month or so of CentOS. Can I dump that and similar non- config stuff? Or does it have some

CentOS Errata and Bugfix Advisory 2006:0901-001 The up2date released with CentOS-4.4 did not specifically require the new centos-release, however the new centos-release provides the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources file for up2date. This update changes up2date to require centos-release >= 4-4.2 which will allow up2date to be used to upgrade of CentOS from 4.3 (or older versions) to 4.4. The

After installing from CD I ran up2date and it looks like I got everything updated. For some reason the up2date icon stays red and tells me that I have up2date-4.2-33-1.centos.3.1 installed but latest version is up2date-4.5.1.centos.3.1 which is the old version of up2date. All the files it wants me to up2date to are the old files. Is this normal for Centos and will it correct itself when new
