Hello,

I built a system based on centos 5.3, now i'm planing to move to 5.4. To do it I rebuilt all rpms making some changes.

When I use a common centos 5.3, it automatically detects that 5.4 is available and move update for it when i run yum update. How does this work? How the system detects new version and update for it?

I thought centos-release rpm just update repo for it, but I saw this is not the case.

Could someone gimme some light?

5.3 + updates = 5.4

There are usually no major problems in upgrading between point releases, but it is always a good idea to read the release notes.
