I've been itching to try the latest eclipse, but my development machine
at work is FC6. Simply upgrading the OS is not really an option at this
point since I doubt my boss would appreciate the downtime while I
reconstruct my desktop and get everything working.
So, on a crazy whim I typed:
# yum --enablerepo=development update eclipse-cdt
after thinking about it for quite some time, yum came back and offered
to actually do it:

Is this ok [y/N]:
So there it is, the shiny yes/no prompt just sitting there like the
history eraser button tempting me to answer yes. But I'm terrified. Has
anybody tried this? Did it work?
