Testing F21 kernel update kernel-3.18.9-200.fc21

[Meikel]

Hi folks,

in bugzilla I found a bug 
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1197842) that adresses an 
issue I have. In a comment from Fedora Update System I can see that 
"kernel-3.18.9-200.fc21 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 21.".

I would like to verify if that kernel fixes my issue. I did read the 
"How to test updates" 
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_test_updates) but it's still not 
clear to me what steps are necessary to test the update.

I do not see the kernel update with yum check-update command:

LANG="" su -c 'yum check-update --enablerepo=updates-testing kernel'
# Loaded plugins: langpacks

No more output. I then tried

LANG="" su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates kernel-3.18.9-200.fc21'
# Loaded plugins: langpacks
# No Match for argument: kernel-3.18.9-200.fc21
# No package kernel-3.18.9-200.fc21 available.
# No packages marked for update

Currently I'm running kernel 3.18.8-201.fc21.i686:

uname -r
# 3.18.8-201.fc21.i686

Can somebody give me advice on how I can test the kernel update 
mentioned above?

Thanks,

Meikel

One option is to download the rpms from
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=619142
into a common directory and then to "yum update *.rpm" to them.

Another option is to wait until they appear in updates-testing and then 
to install them:
# yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing kernel

If you go to:
admin.fedoraproject.org/updates
and type in kernel, you'll see kernel-3.18.9-200.fc21 is in "testing"
which translates into

# su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing kernel-3.18.9-200.fc21'

If that doesn't work I usually clobber it with 'yum clean all' and then retry.

Hmm, I get nothing. Maybe it's gone from updates-testing and is on the
way to updates but isn't there yet? I think it has enough karma to
move to updates. Anyway, another way to do it:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=619142

And just click the download link for
kernel-
kernel-core-
kernel-modules-
And if you know you need them:
kernel-modules-extra

Then at command line you can:
yum/dnf upgrade *rpm
