CentOS 3.3 to 3.4

Has anybody done this? How difficult is it.

I thought it could be done by yum by editing the baseurl value, but upon inbestigating I’ve found that my baseurl values look like this

baseurl=http://updates.interworx.info/caos/centos-3/$releasever/os/$basearch
baseurl=http://updates.interworx.info/caos/centos-3/$releasever/updates/$basearch
baseurl=http://updates.interworx.info/caos/centos-3/$releasever/addons/$basearch
baseurl=http://updates.interworx.info/caos/centos-3/$releasever/extras/$basearch
baseurl=http://updates.interworx.info/iworx/RPMS/noarch
baseurl=http://updates.interworx.info/iworx/RPMS/cos3x/$basearch

It does not link to the release version (3.3), but instead uses the variable $releasever

What’s the best way to do this ?

Tim,

You need to install the centos release package for 3.4 first which will update the $releasever. The steps to upgrade are as follows:


rpm -Uvh http://updates.interworx.info/caos/centos-3/centos-3/3.4/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/centos-release-3-4.2.i386.rpm

yum update

That should do it.

Worked like a charm, Thanks Chris :wink:

I assume I need to reboot now.

yep, the kernel upgraded with centos 3.4.
