Updating FC3 via yum/apt with bleeding edge

[Trey Sizemore]

I've just installed FC3 and want to update to the latest available 
packages (GNOME, KDE, firefox, etc.), new kernel, etc.  I've seen both 
apt and yum as managers and wanted to know the best repositories to 
setup to get the packages.

Thanks.

1. wrong list - as on [e-mail]
2. yum list updates

should give you the list of possible updates.

However, if your REALLY mean "bleeding edge", add the following

$ cat /etc/yum.repos.d/atrpms-bleeding.repo
# Alternatives atrpms-stable atrpms-testing
#
[atrpms-bleeding]
name=ATrpms - Bleeding (Least Stable)
baseurl=http://apt.atrpms.net/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/at-
bleeding
        http://ftp-stud.fht-
esslingen.de/atrpms/download.atrpms.net/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/at-bleeding
        http://wftp.tu-
chemnitz.de/pub/linux/ATrpms/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/at-bleeding
enabled=0
failovermethod=priority
gpgcheck=1

Change enabled=0 to enabled=1 or use the yum --enablerepo=repoid flag.
Can also use add rawhide/development repos and be bleeding all over...

$ cat /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-devel.repo
[development]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - Development Tree
#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/$basearc...
mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-core-rawhide
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1

A less aggressive strategy would be to just change "bleeding" to stable
in the first example above, and check out the other repos available in
medely-config or atrpms-config from Axel Thimm's repo.  Can also get
apt/synaptic from ATrpms.

Enjoy.
