Yeah. I'm doing a full system backup and creating a log of which ones I'm changing in case something breaks. Then I'm going to go through one by one and examine them, renaming them to RPMOLD if they have been bypassed by later updates of the file and swapping the RPMNEWs in for the regular RPMs if the date on the RPMNEW is more current. If something fouls up, I can always recover from the backup.
Don't rename, just move to some other dir. The rpmold name is also used sometimes, besides rpmnew. Read the man.

Ok. I'll bear that in mind. I went through man rpm and couldn't find anything about this. I had done a Google earlier and found the following. It only mentions RPMNEW and RPMSAVE, not RPMOLD. http://www.redhat.com/archives/rhl-list/2003-December/msg04713.html Greg W -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
