I just did a complete upgrade with qtp-mewmodel (found as part of qtp-plus package). Once we got the spamassassin things straight it worked great. If all the fixes are not in there you will need to do a copied sandbox (unless your system can do a unionfs sandbox). It is easy to try as each iteration can be tested - and if it fails you get to start over and you should remove your previous version of the sandbox.
Eric, Do you know if your changes are rolled out yet? -----Original Message----- From: Eric Shubert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 08, 2008 8:52 AM To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Subject: Re: [qmailtoaster] upgrade question Igor Smitran wrote: > In case i want to upgrade packages to a new version one by one, is it > enough just to do: > rpm -Uvh /usr/src/$BDIR/RPMS/$ARCH/package-name-*.rpm per package?

You could use qtp-newmodel to do one package at a time, but that would be risky (sometimes there are package interdependencies), and would increase your total down time. IOW, it'd be pointless. Doing them all at once is best. -- -Eric 'shubes' --------------------------------------------------------------------- QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted <http://www.vr.org> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted <http://www.vr.org> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
