Re: Updating from F9 to F12



I am trying to update my F9 to F12.
i have to go from F9 to F10, then F10 to F12.

I was only able to use "preupgrade" to go from F9 to F11. For whatever
reason, F9 to F12 did not work for me. Some time in the near future, I
will probably try F11 to F14....

when I do,
$ sudo yum install preupgrade
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/10/Everything/i386/os/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found
Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora. Please verify its path and try again

So again the obsolete http is culprit, as seen below.


i tried

$rpm -Uvh
ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/Fedora/i386/os/Packages/fedora-release-*.noarch.rpm
its says http not found, i checked, the ftp has now been moved to
http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/releases/10

Then i manually installed both the *fedora-release-*.noarch.rpm *packages..
now when i try
$yum upgrade
it prints,
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/10/Everything/i386/os/repodata/repomd.xml:
[Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found
Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository:
fedora. Please verify its path and try again

Note the http is still incorrect,
How do i change it to,
http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/releases/10/Everything/i386/os/repodata/repomd.xml

Edit the files:

/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo
/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo

Is it safe???

any ways, I'll back up the files and try it out.

But, these files should be a part of your fedora-release rpm....
What is the exact version of the fedora-release RPM that you have installed?

I installed,
F10 realese RPM
fedora-release-10-1.narch.rpm
fedora-release-notes-10.0.1.noarch.rpm
acc to documentation, now I have to
$yum upgrade
which does not work, as show up.

Thank you for helping,
