Good to know on the distro's. I'll have to do some looking at which way 
I would want to go, but at least I have a map now. :)





It’ll take slightly more than just a yum(8) invocation to move from 
v3.x to v4.x. At a minimum, you’ll need to change one of software 
repositories to pull from a different location. It’s possible that 
other steps may required as well; detailed instructions will be 
available when we get to that point.


I assume like any dist-upgrade requires the changes to the repositories. 
I did just notice my 3 system (I just updated the other day after a 
drive and power supply crash many many months back) went from the beta 3 
to the current 3.6.2 (might be off on the last dot of that version). 
Will the 4 beta's do the same, being able to update from the 4 beta to 
the 4 release when it comes out?


Considering for new not-currently-production builds to get ahead on it. 
And while I can reinstall and start over, I try to not have to do any 
more of than than necessary.


Thanks again, Fred! It's all great work!

Tim

The Rivendell Project will continue to support RHEL/CentOS 7 until it hits End 
of Life (currently set for 30 June 2024). In addition to that, we are adding
