Switch to F9 Updates (from Rawhide)

[Leon Stringer]

Hi,

This question gets asked every time there's a release:

What's the procedure for changing updates from Rawhide to the F9 release 
updates?

Thanks,

Leon...

If you have updated rawhide post Preview Release, then nothing - you
got a fedora-release RPM that has the right things in it.  If not,
install the current (from F9) fedora-release RPM.

It is automatic. You don't have to do anything at all. If you installed 
rawhide and kept updating, your repositories now should be pointing to 
Fedora 9.

# yum repolist

Thanks guys. Do you know, I think things *are* getting simpler!

You can still continue to help test the F9 updates as they come along, just open 
System->Administration->Software Sources and then click the checkbox for 'Fedora 
9 - <arch> - Test Updates' and you'll start using the test updates. 
(bodhi.fedoraproject.org is then the feedback point for them)

Those packages are much less likely to kill you than Rawhide during the 
pre-alpha timeframe. ;)

It might be worth mentioning that if you've changed any of the
fedora*.repo or rawhide*.repo files then you might find you need to
nurse a little.  It should be obvious, since you'll have some *.rpmnew
files in /etc/yum.repos.d/
