[Cooker] urpmi update - good news!
so since the mirrors got fixed, I updated one of our 9.1 machines to Cooker (i.e., practically 9.2) via urpmi, and it worked absolutely flawlessly! Admittedly it's a clean machine - no non-mdk packages - but even so, this is impressive and better than 9.0 - 9.1. I just defined cooker sources for main, contrib and that source that rhymes with sea hell ref, then did urpmi urpmi followed by urpmi --auto-select -v and urpmi kernel. All went flawlessly, just a few manual tweaks for packages that didn't exist previously and the system's running nicely. Thanks a lot for the hard work on making this work, fpons and all the packagers :) -- adamw

Admittedly it's a clean machine - no non-mdk packages - I did the same the other night (the 17th I believe) as well, updated a i815/p3 machine that had a pure 9.1 system on it. I did as you and used urpmi cooker source. Mine needed a little coaxing here and there, but it seemed to upgrade rather well. Everything seems to work and it runs fine looks great. Also, urpmi update to cooker on an old dell xpicd166 laptop on the 17th from about beta2ish went fine as well. But last installer update I attempted, on a kt400/xp2200 machine to rc2 from pure rc1, just froze up during the building rpm db/package selection stage. It worked on it quite a while, the hd light was flashing, but it eventually hung. Just to make sure, I went about my daily tasks and left it for a couple hours. It was definately hung. cheers, -srlinuxx
Re: [Cooker] urpmi update - good news!
I did this last night on my wife's computer and it mostly worked. The glitches that I had were related to urpmi not removing previous versions of packages. So I would have something like: libfoo1-1.2-2mdk libfoo1-1.2-4mdk both installed after the upgrade. Some packages would not upgrade because they depended upon the older libfoo1. So once I removed all the duplicates, then the upgrade worked great. Not sure what triggers the duplicates though. -- Steve Fox http://k-lug.org
[Cooker] At last good news. Plugins came with install.
Always have to install the flash plugin for my homepage. RC1 didn't have to, just went there and everything worked from the gitgo. Great.
[Cooker] And the good news is...
Linus has finally added ReiserFS to the main kernel tree, officially in 2.4.1-pre5, working in 2.4.1-pre7... :o) John
