[Mageia-dev] 1st test upgrade of our servers ( using vm )

Thu Feb 17 16:02:23 CET 2011

Hi,
+so as said in the meeting yesterday, our main objective for first
+release is to be able to upgrade from mandriva. 
+
+One consequence of this is that we plan to use Mageia on our own server,
+and for that, we need to check that we can upgrade server.
+
+So using my test vm, I first tested the web server alamut :
+
+- we cannot install transifex :
+
+python-django-profile-0.6-1.mga1.noarch requires pythonegg(setuptools)
+and this doesn't work.
+
+and both python-curl and python-egenix-mx-base are missing 
+
+- iotop is missing. not required, but nice to have
+
+- upgrade went wrong, some error related to perl
+ Can't locate bytes_heavy.pl in @INC (@INC
+contains: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1/i386-linux-thread-multi 
+                 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.1/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.1 
+                 /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.1/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.1 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0 
+                 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl .) at /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.1/bytes.pm line 16, 
+                 <$curl> chunk 238.
+
+after restarting urpmi, this worked. That's quite weird, so I didn't
+report until I do a 2nd try 
+
+- bcd could not be upgraded ( not present )
+
+- mandriva-release-Free-2010.1 should have been removed with a
+Obsolete/Conflict I think, while here, it was removed because
+mandriva-release-common(lib) was missing 
+
+here is the list of package that were not upgraded :
