Hi *,
will it be "official supported" to update from one Fedora-Core to the
next major Fedora-Core Version while the machine is doing it's normal
(server) work? Like a "rpm -F *" on a RHL8 machine in a directory with a
rpms of RHL9. (Does this really work? I never tried, but was told it would.)
I think the answer to this is that if people are interested in it,
and are willing to do the necessary work of:
- Testing
- Fixing problems they find
Than it can be a feature of Fedora; it's not something that, as far as
I know, Red Hat is going to spend engineering resources on, but that
doesn't constrain the possible features of Fedora.
(rpm -Fvh * doens't really quite work, but yum, apt-rpm, etc. can make
a closer approximation to what the installer does on an upgrade.)
Regards,
Owen

Personally I have been using apt-get with RH8 and RH9 for some time now
and have found that apt does a great job of this. Simply add the apt
repository for the newer version to your sources.list file and do
"apt-get update" and "apt-get upgrade".
