Almost. Another several more hours before they all sync, and then we're good to go.
Really?? Excellent, you rock guys!
BTW, how does this work? If I want to go from 5.2 to 5.3, can I just type "yum upgrade"? If so, what /etc/yum.repos.d entry has to be active for that?
Minor version upgrades (eg 5.2 > 5.3): yum update
Not sure it matters but I usually do
yum update yum rpm yum clean all yum update
I heard elsewhere that there can be problems if you do not update glibc before updating the rest of the OS. I heard that after two of my boxes were already updated the above way and they didn't experience any issues, so maybe it was bogus, but it certainly can't hurt to do
yum update glibc
first.
remote server, be sure to do it inside of screen.

I was a bit hasty there and didn't note the glibc needed to be updated first.
On another note, on a few of my systems, yum didn't pick up the new packages unless I did a "yum clean all" first.
"Yum upgrade" or "yum update"? What's the take on that one here on the list?
Both seem to work. Superficially I don't see anything fishy doing either. Is it one of those zen-things the linux-community seems to be so much into? ;-)

I did the update by "yum -y update" and for whatever reasons did not run into any issues with glibc. I just read about the problem for the first time in this thread. Looks like it hits some people and not others perhaps. I haven't noticed any issues so far at least.

I've now updated a machine with CentOS v5.3 x86_64. On this first test, the glibc didn't update at all and threw up an dependency error. Running yum update; no yum clean all run first, upgraded everything with no errors. Go figure.
I'll try another 64b-machine and see if it reproduces.
