Best method for upgrading from 1.20.1 to 1.21.0 after Yum?

Post by Mr.Ed »

Hi there,

Finally i am up and running with 1.20.1 (Yum) after failing to install from source with version 1.21.0 (don't ask why, i just couldn't get it going). :(
Unfortunately in 1.20.1 i see that still quite a few logs of mine do contain some error messages.

I could go and try to solve all of these here in 1.20.1 , or i could try to upgrade to 1.21.0, the version in which quite a few (>13) bugfixes have been implemented (and thus maybe less errors in logfiles). :wink:

So, my question is, after i installed 1.20.1 with Yum (by far the easyest way), how do i proceed with upgrading to 1.21.0? :?

I understand that upgrading from source is quite different from upgrading after installing through RPM or Yum? I know that it should be done with the upgrade scripts. My database contains no data of interest for me, it has been running for a few days without actually collecting interesting stuff. So i wouldn't mind my database being flushed.

Any help is much appreciated!

I think you can do something like
yum update zm

You might want to do some research though because I know if you just do a yum update it will try to update all your packages.

You can also download the rpm and do
rpm -Uvh zm-1.21.0-0.FC3.CTU.i386.rpm

PS Sorry I had forgot to update the headers in the repo after adding the 1.21 files
