That's correct. The 'Paravel-Broadcast' repo will always have the current 'stable' release of Rivendell 2.x (v2.19.3 as of this writing). I'd encourage you to upgrade to these versions as they appear, as that way you get bugfixes (and often new functionality) in a timely manner. > will the Paravel repo only hold the latest version, and if so will we > be > 'forced' to always run the version provided by the Paravel repo? > Should > I save a copy of my desired installer (and if so, how?) If you need to stay pinned to a particular version, you can do that by keeping your own copy of the relevant RPMs and then downgrading to them after the initial installation is complete. One caveat: if you go this route, be sure that the new machine is *not* connected to your production Rivendell server until after the downgrade is complete. Otherwise the new version may update the DB schema on your production system, making your other hosts running the 'downgraded' version unable to connect. (Not a catastrophe as those changes can be reversed by using rdrevert(8), but a hassle at the very least). Cheers! |-------------------------------------------------------------------| | Frederick F.
