How do I do an upgrade from test2 to test 3 ? I just clean installed test2 as I don't have test 3 cd's yet and I want to see how the upgrade process works .

I believe that if you run and up2date (or yum) it should update to test3. I am showing as running test3, after an up2date was done. Waiting for the iso's to download to do a clean install of test3 to see how it goes and/or if I can find anything to report on it.
Cheers,

I believe that if you run and up2date (or yum) it should update to test3. I am showing as running test3, after an up2date was done.
Just be sure to configure yum/up2date for your nearest mirror first.

Check out http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors.html
Edit /etc/yum.conf and change as follows:
[development] name=Fedora Core $releasever - Development Tree baseurl=http[or ftp]://<server-nearest-you></prefix>/fedora/$releasever/$basearch ditto-for-next-nearest-server etc.-for-as-many-as-you-want-to-add http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/$basearc... failovermethod=priority gpgcheck=1
Note that different mirrors may have different leading prefixes, and that leading whitespace seems to be required for 2nd and subsequent URLs.
Example:
[development] name=Fedora Core $releasever - Development Tree baseurl=ftp://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/fedora/linux/core/development/$basearch ftp://ftp.net.usf.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/$basearch http://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/core/development/$basearch http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/$basearc... failovermethod=priority gpgcheck=1
Make similar changes to /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources if you want up2date to work reliably also.

Will this do what you expect? In the development cycle a number of packages were rolled back to a previous version.
After the rollback to a previous version the installed version is newer than the 'current' best on rawhide. Yum and up2date will not track the system with the contents of rawhide.
Even an update from the distribution CD's does not sync the system and the packages on the disks as far as I can tell.
Is there an easy way to detect these version reversals as we close in on the final bits?
Is there a way to correctly match rawhide and a testing box?
If a package was installed --force or --oldpackage is there an rpm command that will illuminate package dependency errors?
Perhaps a script built from: /var/spool/yum/development/header.info and `rpm -qa`....
Thanks, mitch

Fedora get the most benefit from people either doing fresh installs or upgrades from stable releases. These are the cases that need to be tested, not upgrades between beta releases. If you can, please help with testing these scenarios.
