Folks how about we share experience here. I have a production install of FC5test3 running really good. I do want to go up to the release by means of an "upgrade". What badness might I encounter with such a move? What has been your experience? Thanks, Ray

I did the upgrade from test3 today and all went well. I downloaded the fedora-release rpm for FC5 from the Fedora Core mirrors, installed that and did "yum upgrade".

I appreciate that reddazz.

Hi reddazz, I followed your instructions and right now I'm in FC5. But I have some doubts, maybe you can help me to understand it better.

1. I was using FC5 Test3 for some weeks, and I was using Pup to update the system. At this stage I think that Pup used the Development repositories, all the updates went smoothly. Today before following your instructions I ran Pup and did more updates, I notice that the kernel was going to be updated, when it finished I check the boot directory, I found this:
Why I have a kernel for FC6?

I suspect that Pup was still updating from the development repositories. When I check them in /etc/yum.repos.d they look like these:

They all depend on the value of the variables $releasever and $basearch, how can I know the value of these variables?

Since I read your post, I think that the package fedora-release correct the value of this variables so that they point now to FC5 and my basearch that is x86-64, is this correct?

I don't want to use Pup for more upgrades until I'm sure that it's pointing to FC5 and not the development repository that now points to FC6.

Any ideas?

It seems like for some reason pup is still using the development mirrors. Are you sure your Fedora release rpm is from stable. The version on my system is fedora-release-5-5 and when I upgrade or install packages using yum its connecting to the Fedora core 5 repos.

I've reviewed the fedora-release package:
Now I think I'm using the Fedora Core 5 repos.

Thanks reddazz.
