You can use this little script to get list of spec files, which provide newer package than installed in your system. The usage: In main SFE directory run: ./specupdate.pl *.spec Then you can throw that list to pkgtool uninstall-pkgs and install them. But take attention when upgrading libraries, as you probably will need to upgrade also packages depend on them. Petr -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
