Right. (And thanks for your replies further up this subthread, you left me
nothing more to add. ;-) )
E.g. an update from KDE3 to KDE4 should only happen from a Fedora
release
to another, but an update from KDE 4.x.y to 4.x.y+1 would be ok.
Indeed.
Maybe even from 4.x.y to 4.x+1.z, but I am not that familiar with
KDE
upgrades.
They're basically safe, and in fact we do this kind of updates now (see e.g.
4.4.0 which got pushed to F11 and F12).
Or postgres updates are a kind of updates that afaik require manual
intervention, therefore they should also only happen from release to
release.
Right.
There was a good list about criteria for good updates somewhere in
the
thread, I can try to find it again if you want.
I posted those. :-) You already found them, but I think versions in earlier
threads may be more complete, I may have forgotten something this time as I
didn't have much time to think of all the details nor to search for the
earlier posts.
