I have 2 new servers built from 4.3 isos. I want to update them but cannot do that because of update issues: Up2date fails because of a several dependency issues. yum update fails because of a problem with the au mirrors. yum can find the mirrors but not the headers. Cheers

Hi, does anyone have plans on adding an apt repository? I used apt-get with Synaptic RH8 with fedoralegacy.org which made things so much easier to manage compared to yum/up2date. Freshrpms provides some instructions here: http://freshrpms.net/apt/server/ Unfortunately I do not have the bandwidth to offer it myself. btw - does anyone have an idea why up2date says it wants to downgrade after the

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

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

Hi, can someone tell how many are behind maintaining the site and converting security and regular RHEL fixes for Centos-3? I see the last round of security updates for RHEL were turned out in a day which is impressive. Trying to get an idea if Centos has alot of community support and being maintained by more than one person. I am not confident enough yet in building my own updates. I am another

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

If so, how do you configure the up2date client that comes with CentOS to look at the local yum mirror? Conversely, how do you disable the CentOS Network Alert Notification Tool so that users won't see the "throbbing red circle" and be tempted to launch the up2date client? Thanks, Alfred

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.

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

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)

CentOS Errata and Bugfix Advisory CEBA-2005-0723-001 This fix is just more trademark and logo reduction in the up2date and rhn-applet packages. Nothing functional is changed, just more references to the upstream provider removed and color/logo changes made. After installation of the new rhn-applet package, please stop and restart the rhn-applet (the blue check mark on the toolbar). You would
