Hello, everyone. I have an question. There do should have different between up2date and Rawhide? My answer is no. However, the fact now seems different. What makes me think of it is as below. 1)I use up2date to update my Severn everyday. I aslo subcribe the two Severn Channel, Beta and Beta Updates 2)However, since the Fedora announce date,Sep. 22ed, until now, Sep. 26th, I notice my up2date tells me there is nothing to update. 3)As I said above, I use up2date everyday, so I feel more and more strange about that. Then I go to ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS to see if my Severn is updated. 4)I use rpm -q to check. I checked to package: up2date and XFree86, which I think is the most frequently updated. The result are as below. [hutigers@www hutigers]$ rpm -q up2date up2date-3.9.28-2 [hutigers@www hutigers]$ rpm -q XFree86 XFree86-4.3.0-32 However, what I find in ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS now is up2date-3.9.29-2.i386.rpm and XFree86-4.3.0-33.i386.rpm, which are newer. 5)Then I go to https://rhn.redhat.com/ and http://fedora.redhat.com/ to check if there is something changed. 6)In https://rhn.redhat.com/ I find "Mailman RPM does not properly handle package installation and upgrade." And I notice it has bugs on upgrade. 7)In http://fedora.redhat.com/ I find nothing newer than Sep 22ed. then I go to http://fedora.redhat.com/download/#errata, where I find the below message. AA:**Check for Updates**
BB:**If you downloaded a beta, check Rawhide for updated packages or the RHN beta channel using the Red Hat Update Agent (up2date).**
CC:**If you downloaded a final release, check for Errata via Red Hat Network or from the Errata website.** Notice the BB section. It says "check Rawhide for updated packages or the RHN beta channel using the Red Hat Update Agent (up2date)". That makes me believe that two methods you do will come to the same result. However, it is not. In https://ren.redhat.com/ you can find up2date is just as follows up2date-3.9.28-2 Red Hat Linux (Severn) 9.0.93 - Beta Updates up2date-3.9.26-2 Red Hat Linux (Severn) 9.0.93 - Beta Updates up2date-3.9.25-2 Red Hat Linux (Severn) 9.0.93 - Beta Updates up2date-3.9.24-1 Red Hat Linux (Severn) 9.0.93 - Beta Updates up2date-3.9.23-2 Red Hat Linux (Severn) 9.0.93 - Beta Updates up2date-3.9.20-2 Red Hat Linux (Severn) 9.0.93 - Beta Updates up2date-3.9.19-2 Red Hat Linux (Severn) 9.0.93 - Beta Updates up2date-3.9.15-2 Red Hat Linux (Severn) 9.0.93 - Beta Updates up2date-3.9.13-2 Red Hat Linux (Severn) 9.0.93 - Beta Updates up2date-3.9.12-2 Red Hat Linux (Severn) 9.0.93 - Beta Updates up2date-3.1.46-2 Red Hat Linux (Severn) 9.0.93 - Beta And in rawhide,ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS, up2date is now up2date-3.9.29-2.i386.rpm. So now rawhide is newer than update channels
8 and final) After the long discussion, my question is that. Is that a mistake make the two different? I mean that the two should be the same. Or in fact the rawhide should be newer than the update channel, as it is more unstable than update channel? If the second answer is yes, please tell me a way to update with rawhide automaticly. Thanks you all too read this long page and best regards. :) hutigers Sep. 26th, 2003
