+<PRE>Colin Guthrie a &#233;crit :
+&gt;<i> OK, so the packages have now all been uploaded.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> You should see several packages now that you cannot install on Cauldron.
+</I>&gt;<i> This is intended behaviour.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Here is how to update your cauldron systems:
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> 1. Run &quot;urpmi --auto-update&quot; install everything that can be installed.
+</I>&gt;<i> 2. Ensure that latest dracut is installed. Run &quot;urpmi dracut&quot; to make
+</I>&gt;<i> sure (it may have been excluded in the --auto-update if it was in a
+</I>&gt;<i> transaction with other packages that could not be installed).
+</I>&gt;<i> 3. Ensure that you do not have zapata or dpkg installed (rpm -e zapata;
+</I>&gt;<i> rpm -e dpkg)
+</I>&gt;<i> 4. Generate a new initrd and include the conversion script: dracut -f
+</I>&gt;<i> -a convertfs
+</I>&gt;<i> 5. If you have /usr on a separate partition
+</I>&gt;<i> - Ensure there is enough free space to hold /bin, /sbin, /lib and
+</I>&gt;<i> /lib64 content.
+</I>&gt;<i> - If your /usr is mounted readonly, change your /etc/fstab to mount
+</I>&gt;<i> it rw.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>
+Just a random thought.
+Is there an easy way to make /bin, /sbin, /lib or /lib64
+relocatable in any packages that use them to usr/*,
+when a certain flag is set ? (say a certain file in /)
+
+Then when the appropriate conditions are met,
+such as /usr on / or dracut installed and /usr with rw permissions, we
+could set the flag, and then after progressively migrate the various files.
+In this transition we would probably have to put syslinks in the old
+locations, etc.
+
+If this works, maybe we could convert many mga2 systems before mga3
+release, to minimise any problems ?
+
+Haven't really thought this through, and I haven't been following this
+in detail, just something that occured to me.
+
+&gt;<i> All the best and good luck!!!
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Col
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>Regards :)
