Local Packages

  • Updated sendmail to 8.13.6 (this is a security update)

  • Updated perl-Net-Server to 0.92

  • Rebuilt the FC5-compatible curl and bittorrent packages for all the other distributions

Fedora Core 5

Updated my home desktop box to Fedora Core 5. Again it was a long process compared with previous updates, but since it's not a frequent operation I'm not too worried about that. It does beg the question though of how long it will take on my poor old AMD K6-200 box that I use as the file and print server.

The only big issue I had was with lvm2 not recognising an old lvm1 volume group. More on that in Bug #186395.

Wiki

Added Fedora Core 5 specific instructions to YumRepoFromImages.
