Yes, but that is not wise, either, except for a few known packages, like
locally compiled packages. Certainly not as a general rule.
For one reason, I wouldn't get the updated versions of the packages not in
the DVD, getting an inconsistent system: parts updated, part not. For
another, some packages in distro upgrades get replaced by another
different package, or disappear, or worse, the package gets a name change,
in which case I would get both new and obsolete versions of equivalent
packages.
No, the proper thing is to update all existing package with their intended
replacement, getting them from the local install media (DVD, CD, etc) and
the add on source (ftp tree) if missing on local or main source. That add
on source is what is new, and the feature I wanted; it just needs to be
tested, if I understood Andreas correctly.
I just need clarification that my understanding is correct, that it should
work, and then I'll try to find out time to test that scenario (ie,
upgrade from 10.1 to 10.2 Beta with some packages to be updated from add
on source because they are not in the CDs).
