uprading to Fedora 10 using YUM - no packages

[mlehman]

I'm upgrading from Fedora 8 to 10 using YUM. I followed the wiki at fedora.org and everything seems to be working fine. However when I go to upgrade my system, I get the following:

# yum upgrade
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* fedora: less.cogeco.net
* updates: less.cogeco.net
Setting up Upgrade Process
No Packages marked for Update

I believe my repos are set properly.

[root@trinity ~]# rpm -q fedora-release
fedora-release-10-1


Any ideas?

Am not discouraging you but that method is not a good idea :)

> No Packages marked for Update

That means I believe because FC10 is the brand new release no packages are updated yet.

Thanks for the info.

So, as per the previous message, there must not be packages in the fedora and updates repos yet. I'll wait.

you need to do a
yum clean all #(to reset fastmirror and get the correct package info.
It would also help to do a yum update yum
first. to get a deplist bug fix)
then
yum update

But, without doing this initial set of updates from updates testing the system will be a bit buggy until those move to updates. That will be about a week. This couldn't be done before because most of the updates in updates-testing are only about a 7-10 days old. There are 912 so far. After the initial use of updates-testing then one can go back to being paranoid and only do updates (w/wo yum security plugins.) In the past these post G/A updates were called zero day updates. They fix the release problems for booting, startup, xorg, and such.
However you can wait also.
