FC10 updates impossible by yum

Slawan · 06-04-2012, 05:21 PM

Hi,
I cannot update FC10 with yum now (no packets to be updated). Is it possible to get new rpm packets from somewhere (Totem 2.24.3 and plugins - internet video is dead, Shockwave Flash - up to date, Firefox v.12.0), or is it better to install higher version of Fedora? Which one?
Kindest regards and many thanks,
Slawan

17 was released just last week. (Fedora 18 is scheduled right now for the end of this year.)

fedora changes VERY FAST . It is a R and D distro that changes very much every 6 months with each new release

fedora 10 hit it's END OF LIFE on "2009-12-18"
so there have been NO security fixes since then

fedora 17 is the current and any one version ONLY has 13 months of support
so 17 will die ( hit it's END OF LIFE in 13 months )

there will never be any updates after that

Thanks to all of you. So I'll install FC17 as you suggest. I expect troubles with executing the RAID1 utility or ADSL modem as usual, but it will take me much less time than the other solutions, I hope.
Many thanks, Regards

It has been a couple of days. I'm wondering how your new installation has been going?
