SL release number
Hi, I have installed SL 5.2 a couple of years ago and since then my system is always up to date. I also have the latest kernel (2.6.18-194.8.1.el5). The question is: Why does the release still show up as 5.2 (and not 5.5)? # lsb_release -id Distributor ID: ScientificSL Description:Scientific Linux SL release 5.2 (Boron) Thanks, Michele

Re: SL release number
Hello, As for the origianl question, lsb_release takes the version from /etc/redhat-release, which is provided by package sl-release (version 5.5 for SL 5.5). To see its info rpm -qf /etc/redhat-release -i Best regards, Gregory On Mon, Aug 2, 2010 at 10:33 PM, Franchisseur Robert < robert.franchiss...@lmd.jussieu.fr> wrote: > -- Le (On) 2010-08-02 -0700 à (at) 12:15:26 Akemi Yagi écrivit (wrote): -- > > > On Mon, Aug 2, 2010 at 10:46 AM, Michèle Perucic > > wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > > > I have installed SL 5.2 a couple of years ago and since then my system > is > > > always up to date. > > > I also have the latest kernel (2.6.18-194.8.1.el5). > > > The question is: Why does the release still show up as 5.2 (and not > 5.5)? > > > > > > # lsb_release -id > > > Distributor ID: ScientificSL > > > Description:Scientific Linux SL release 5.2 (Boron) > > > > > > Thanks, > > > Michele > > > > I think this FAQ page would help: > > > > https://www.scientificlinux.org/documentation/howto/upgrade.5x > > > > Akemi > > > >By the way I remember there is a yum-conf-5x to stay with the > latest release (I used it for 4x) but I don't remeber how to > install it. > > I tried with yum and rpm without success : > > jones:{root}:/etc > yum install yum-conf-5x > ... > > Transaction Check Error: >file /etc/yum.conf from install of yum-conf-5x-1-8.SL.noarch > conflicts with file from package yum-conf-54-1.SL.noarch > > > jones:{root}:/etc > rpm -Uvh > /var/cache/yum/sl-base/packages/yum-conf-5x-1-8.SL.noarch.rpm > ... >file /etc/yum.conf from install of yum-conf-5x-1-8.SL.noarch > conflicts with file from package yum-conf-54-1.SL.noarch > > > Shall I remove yum-conf first ? > > Thanks for your help. > > -- > Best regards, > Robert FRANCHISSEUR > > Apollo_gist :-)___ > | Robert FRANCHISSEUR | > | Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique - C.N.R.S. | > | Equipe "R.A.M.S.E.S." - UPMC - Tour 45-55 3ème 315C | > | Boite 99 - 4, place JussieuF-75252 PARIS CEDEX 05 FRANCE | > | Phone : +33 (0)1 44 27 73 87 fax : +33 (0)1 44 27 62 72 | > | e-mail : robert at lmd . jussieu . fr http://www.lmd.jussieu.fr | > --- >
