Hi Friends,
I am just trying to update a WEB server but I face a
problem , seems general!
Normally when you try to use YUM (We are using Core2),
you will receive a very old offer of update from
RedHat web site and when we try to install RPMs for
other Cores , we receive many dependecy errors.(For
instant the best offer of YUM for FC2 trying to update
Apache is 2.0.51 and MySQL 3... ! .
We receive other error messages when we try to use
sources of these programs.
So what is thebest solution to keep these packages as
up to date as possible?
No need to say that we can not upgrade to Core4
easily.
If you want to keep an older version of fedora running,
switch to the legacy support repositories:
http://fedoralegacy.org/
If you want to keep servers running much longer than
the fedora fast release cycles without re-installing,
you might want to switch to Centos:
http://www.centos.org/
Centos4 is not a big jump from fedora FC2 or FC3 but can
be expected to have official updates for a much longer
time.
