null Posted July 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 I just got the newest firefox from mozilla.com, as daniewicz suggested. Very easy, and works great, no problems or anything. Will try to learn more about urpmi and 3rd party repos for future use. thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted July 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 ok something else. In the future, when I do another urpmi --auto-select to update everything, is urpmi going to know that I now have a newer firefox - since I got it myself and not thru urpmi...? After getting it from mozilla.com, I put it in /usr/share. The old one was somewhere else. So next time I do the "urpmi update everything" (since I now have the seerofsouls site) is urpmi gonna know I alread have the newer firefox?

tyme Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 It won't. URPMI only knows what you installed with rpm/urpmi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted July 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 so if I now do another urpmi --auto --auto-select,, and since I have the SoS repo, it will think it needs to install the newer firefox. I assume it won't hurt anything, I can just keep using my already newer version, or I can start using the urpmi one, and then remove the one I installed yesterday... For me to remove the one I installed yesterday, it looks like its just a matter of deleting the folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
