Yeah. I would have thought it checks the date of the file and tries to 
update it when it's that old. Anyway, clearing the whole yum cache was a 
good idea as I don't need the 5.8 rpms anymore. I just didn't think about 
that first, it's been long ...

Thanks for the quick reply! It assured me that there was no special 
procedure necessary, so I thought again and remembered that.

Hi,

Just run 'yum upgrade' or 'yum update'. No other action is required. You
can also add -y switch to autoselect --yes

[CentOS] how to update from 5.8 to 5.latest?

[Kai Schaetzl]

Hi!

I revived an old disk with CentoS 5.8 on it and want to update it to 
5.latest (=5.11). However, it insists on getting 5.8 files. From the past 
I remember I would get a major release jump from 5.n to 5.m automatically. 
Or do I remember this wrong?
I googled a bit around, but couldn't really find something similar.

How do I update now? The repo file looks exactly like on machines that are 
up to 5.11. Should I change it manually to 5.11 or just 5 paths?
Does it still understand that this is then an upgrade to a another major 
version?

Or should I do something different to make it upgrade to 5.11?

Thanks!

Kai
