At the moment up2date it's a pain and mirrors are not doing their work mirroring testings packages so if you need an urgent fix you have to use fedora site that is always busy (trying all the day since 3 days ago). I suggest to wait if your server has a critical role, upgrade will be almost easy, up2date not so much. With RH9 you can wait until 30/04/2004, i suggest: test fedora on another machine, when packages mirrors will be mature you should upgrade. -----Messaggio originale----- Da: fedora-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx] Per conto di Jan Houtsma Inviato: giovedì 13 novembre 2003 23.36 A: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx Oggetto: Mature enough to upgrade already? Hello, At a school we have a server running RH9. I wonder if it is smart to move to Fedora already in this early stage? I want a perfect, errorless, smoothless upgrade procedure from RH9 -> Fedora. Is this the case already or still in developement? Can i just download the ISOs and run them as an upgrade to RH9? I have the following packages which are essential about which i wonder if i can expect problems after upgrading: 1) apache with php, perl and cgi-bin and ssl certificates for https. 2) squid caching proxy 3) squidGuard 4) samba 5) squirrelmail 6) phpbb 2.0.6 7) webCalendar v0.9.42 8) qmail with procmail 9) spamassassin 10) named 11) dhcpcd 12) dhcpd 13) sshd 14) ntpd This server is a NAT router as well for the internal school network. Will an upgrade be smoothless and packages replaced by newer ones retaining my config files and adding .rpmsave and .rpmnew files on my filesystem like redhat did? Is it really all the same like it would look like an upgrade to RH10 or can i better wait until april when RH support stops? up2date will also work like before?
