Yes and no The commands urpmi.update -a urpmi --auto-select Would update your entire system with the latest and greatest of every package installed on your system from every source defined.
urpmi.update -a urpmi --update --autoselect would update only from the Mandrake updates server while urpmi.update urpmi package_name will install the latest version of that package. (The urpmi.update -a command simply makes the list of available packages up to date. You do not need it if updating from 'fixed' sources) If you look at the mail I referenced, only one of those sources is restricted to Mandrake Club members. These are the commercial packages off the powerpack CDs. RPMS made by club members are in the 'unsupported folder' on the mirrors and are available by urpmi by anyone. None of those packages would be found on rpnfind.net derek On Friday 13 Dec 2002 6:33 pm, Andrei Raevsky wrote: > Hi Derek, > > Thanks for the info.
