New subject: FC3... install/update ?

12 Jul 2004


      Thanks.
I have 3 systems: one running 'stock' FC2, the other 2
running off the development and Arjan's tree.
I'll try the 'yum update' on the stock system.
I'm assuming (hoping?) that the 'bleeding edge'
systems will just update (i.e., 'yum update')
smoothly..... (they've already lost the '2'
from the login splash screen, and yum.conf
has been updated to point only at the
development tree).
FC2T1 clean install had issues with
SELinux installs (home directories not properly
labeled, ...).  The bugzilla entry for this
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=123856)
is not closed....
Has this been fixed? Need testing?

With FC3 about to descend, anyone know if updates
from FC2 will be supported?  Only clean installs?
Caveat:  I think you need to do a 'yum upgrade' rather than a 'yum
update' from FC2 to pick up the policy -> selinux-policy-strict update. 
A 'yum update' seems to leave the old policy package unchanged, while
pulling in the newer SysVinit, libselinux, and policycoreutils (which do
still work with the older policy package, but that isn't likely what you
want).
