RE: [SCIENTIFIC-LINUX-USERS] Upgrade from SL 5.3
Thanks to all who responded.
There was indeed a typo in de scientific.org documentation.
Therefor I have succeeded in upgrading to 5.11.
Also David mentioned:

Without installing the yum-conf-5x package, you can most likely do an upgrade
doing:
yum --releasever=5.11 update sl-release
yum clean all
yum update

(@Pat) I remember this was also in the documentation on the old scientific.org
website... maybe add this to the new site?

Re: [SCIENTIFIC-LINUX-USERS] Upgrade from SL 5.3
Alas, for SL 5 $releasever isn't used by the yum repos we provide.
I'll add the comment on releasever to the docs for 6 and 7 as it is a
handy command set.

Hi,
I have several different releases of Scientific Linux running, and now one =
of my spare-fileservers is repowerd again
Then I found out it is still running SL 5.3, so I would like to update to 5=
.11, but ScienticfLinux.org in its FAQ only mentions:
How do I update to the latest release?
To upgrade from SL 5.5 (or any older SL 5 release) to the latest SL 5, =
simply install yum-conf-sl5x
To upgrade from SL 6.1 (or any older SL 6 release) to the latest SL 6, =
simply install yum-conf-sl6x
Upgrades between major versions (from SL 5 to SL 6, or SL 6 to SL 7) ar=
e not supported.
Starting with Scientific Linux 5.9 and Scientific Linux 6.4, the 'x' repo i=
s installed by default.
So:
# yum install yum-conf-sl5x=20
Shows:
"No package yum-conf-sl5x available" (from ftp1.scientificlinux.org)=20
Therefor: Is the phrase " or any older SL 5 release " correct ?
Regards,
Carel=20

Hi,
I have several different releases of Scientific Linux running, and
now one =
of my spare-fileservers is repowerd again
Then I found out it is still running SL 5.3, so I would like to
update to 5=
.11, but ScienticfLinux.org in its FAQ only mentions:
How do I update to the latest release?
To upgrade from SL 5.5 (or any older SL 5 release) to the
latest SL 5, =
simply install yum-conf-sl5x
To upgrade from SL 6.1 (or any older SL 6 release) to the
latest SL 6, =
simply install yum-conf-sl6x
Upgrades between major versions (from SL 5 to SL 6, or SL 6
to SL 7) ar=
e not supported.
Starting with Scientific Linux 5.9 and Scientific Linux 6.4, the
'x' repo i=
s installed by default.
So:
# yum install yum-conf-sl5x=20
Shows:
"No package yum-conf-sl5x available" (from
ftp1.scientificlinux.org)=20
Therefor: Is the phrase " or any older SL 5 release " correct ?

Carel=20
