Edoardo Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Neither on the Club's mirror-list nor on easyurpmi there are update mirrors for 10.1 CE. how does one update that ? Is it the case that there won't be update 'sources' just the main distrib RPMs will get updated along the way until 10.1 official arrives ? In that case I guess I should update as $ urpmi.update -a # urpmi --auto-select BUT I thought cooker and CE were forked ... please advise!

bvc Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 BUT I thought cooker and CE were forked ... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> where did you hear that? How do they know the bugs are fixed unless people test via cooker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edoardo Posted September 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 so I should create an urpmi distrib source pointing to a cooker mirror and invoke urpmi --auto-select on that one ?? Edo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 that's what I've been doing, except I do; urpmi --auto --auto-select Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feralertx Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 (edited) that's what I've been doing, except I do;urpmi --auto --auto-select <{POST_SNAPBACK}> For what i have heard the --auto part is not needed anymore. It was used to force urpmi to check wether there was any update for itself, and if so, install it and restart itself, but now urpmi does that automatically. Dont remember where i read it so i cant post a link (or maybe -probably- it was in cooker mailing-list) but it surely works for me without it. Edited to correct some misspelling (and probably make some others ) BTW is the 'spell check' board function not working anymore ??

adamw Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 no, that's not what auto does. auto is for unattended updates; it automatically goes through steps urpmi usually queries you on (confirm the list of packages to be updated - pick a package to be installed where more than one can satisfy a dependency - remove obsoleted / conflicting packages). it always picks the safest option. If you're doing automated updates via cron or something, urpmi --auto-select --keep --auto is the best command line to use, completely non-interactive and as safe as it can get.

Im gonna give some correct info for a change :P this i have tested myself (hard :D ) with this command: yes | urpmi --auto-select you will reply to any question urpmi asks with a 'yes' answer (including bad signatures, remove of packages etc...)

adamw Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 well, that's kinda like auto, except it might say "yes" to something bad, and it'll break on queries which expect a "1" or "2" kind of an answer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuyo Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 I am a little confused. i thought that you were supposed to be doing the updates to Community 10.1 from main and not from cooker. Can someone please provide an authoritative answer to this issue? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamw Posted October 2, 2004 Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 Well, for 10.0 the procedure was to use the CE tree (although it didn't matter as CE and Cooker were literally identical). I'd *expect* it to be the same this time but, interestingly, it doesn't seem to be the case - it seems like the CE tree isn't getting updated at all, but Cooker is. Right now my advice would be to use the Cooker tree until official is released, then switch to either official or CE tree (assuming you don't want to carry on using Cooker).

Cooker didn't get forked last time until 2 days before the release of OE. In fact, that is how I knew OE was coming. I agree that cooker is currently no different than a bug fix of CE. It will remain that until it is forked, and OE is released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
