Re: [ydl-gen] Cannot yum upgrade from ydl-6 to ydl-6.1

2009-01-10 Thread Derick Centeno
Hi John:

There are two components to your question:

1.  The rules governing linux software version numbering, which could
be researched elsewhere.  It is beyond the scope of this method of
communication, ie. via this kind of mailing list.

2.  Very briefly, YDL 6.1 is not an upgrade from YDL 6.0 but a
completely unique and separate release and progression beyond YDL 6.0.
Therefore there is no way to upgrade between the two releases via yum.

 I've been trying to use yum upgrade to upgrade from ydl-6.0 to 
 ydl-6.1 without success - basically I get the message that there are 
 no packages to upgrade.
 
 Do I need to modify /etc/yum.repos.d/yellowdog-base or is there 
 another trick to this
 
 Thanks
 John
