I am perfectly willing to use exclude= in the config files to eliminate kernel updates. That said, there are a lot of non-kernel packages (188 as of this morning) installed on FreePBX that in the CentOS base distribution require patches that FreePBX has not yet made available. Is this inference correct?Īnd I believe that I comprehend your point about controlling the packages in a turnkey solution. Why? I infer that the reference to CentOS-6.2 is simply a cut-and-paste oversight.

Why is this section present and where are the CentOS repo files coming from? Again I see a superfluous but potentially destructive recursive switch given to the forced remove. In any case, later in the same script I see this:Įcho ' Updating all remaining RPMS now to Centos 6.2'Įcho ' `date` Updating all remaining RPMS now to Centos 6.2' > /var/log/pbx/upgrade/'$upgradeversion'

I am not sure that simply blowing people's work away is at all a friendly thing for an upgrade script to do. Presumably system operators have good and sufficient reasons for installing additional repositories, some of which may have customizations made to them. Please move the contents'Įcho 'of /etc/ somewhere safe and try again.' etc/ must be cleared'Įcho 'to proceed with the upgrade. Read -p 'Remove all these files from /etc/? ' -n 1 -rĮcho 'Exiting upgrade. Or at least have the user be prompted before the existing directory contents are permanently removed? echoĮcho ' Replace repos with only FreePBX Distro since some people have added other repos which can break updates'Įcho ' `date` Replace repos with only FreePBX Distro since some people have added other repos which can break updates' > /var/log/pbx/upgrade/'$upgradeversion'Ĭould not the repositories be renamed rather than deleted? mkdir -p /etc//asterisk_update_save.d And why the recursive delete? Yum does not descend into subdirectories in my experience. This bit in the recommended upgrade script appears a bit harsh don’t you think? Particularly since it gives no opportunity to stop at processing this point.
