FC3 general Upgrade


Hey Everyone,

I wanted to install the new version of gDesklets on my FC3 system. However, I found our that I need a whole slew of upgrades to my system which are not yet in the rpm repositories (GLIB, pygtk, gnome-python..etc.) Does anyone know how to do this general upgrade without installing Fedora 4 test because I imagine that has them on there. Please let me know what you guys do in this type of situation. Thanks,

Add the FC4 repository to your yum configuration (enable=0). When you want to install an FC4 package (for example):

yum --enablerepo=fc4 install packagename

Yum will then be able to pull in the dependencies from the FC4 repository as needed. Be careful, sometimes the dependency list for an operation like this can be huge. Never use the '-y' option in this case, or you will end up (mostly) upgrading to the FC4 test release.
