I have a Fedora 7 test 4 system that has just decided that it wants to download 124 updates. Am I right to assume that this update represents the final release of Fedora 7 and that I won't need to do anything else to it?
I expect not.
You would need to just update fedora-release first. This updates the yum repo files to point to the fedora 7 release repos. Then {maybe need a yum clean metadata dbcache ?} yum update. If you were already up to date {from the development repo on F7t4} then there should only be minimal changes.
I think you are seeing the packages that have been held of development while the release is knocked into shape -> ie what will eventually become F8.
Hi Dave
Thanks for the explanation. I will update the yum repository files as suggested and see where that takes me.
