RH9: may I update my sources.list and how?

xpucto · 11-03-2007, 04:19 AM

Hi!
I'm new to RH and I'm not sure if I correctly get the concept of apt-get. I run RH9 as a webserver and I would like to upgrade php.mysql-apache. But the last versions of those softwares are not available in my sources.list. I have for example:

Quote:

rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net/redhat 9/i386 freshrpms
rpm-src http://ayo.freshrpms.net/redhat 9/i386 freshrpms

May I still use

Code:

apt-get -u upgrade

to update those softwares (for example to PHP5), and if yes how should I update my sources.list?
Or I'm only suppose to download manually rpm packages since RH9 doesn't have the latest packages?
I hope that my questions are clear: is there a way for my to use

Code:

apt-get -u upgrade

in order to upgrade stuffs like PHP or mysql, and when yes, what should I do?

thanks for your help.

I think our issue is that RH9 isn't supported any more (and hasn't been from c 2004), unless you have some reason to believe the relevant updates exist

I know, that's why I'm asking: does this mean that

Quote:

apt-get -u upgrade

doesn't have any meaning for RH9?
And this means that one may only makes manually some upgrades on RH9, right?

I think your assumption that you need to do manual upgrades is correct
