Re: Moving from Linux Repository to System Update

Kaylan,

Please actually read what I asked.  All you've done is quote 
http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/dsu/ to me.  You haven't answered my 
question, which is to ask what is required to move from Dell Linux 
Repository to Dell System Update.  I've tried it myself and it's far more 
involved than you seem to think, given the need to remove things like all 
packages from the @dell-omsa-independent repository such as "python-smbios" 
and "dell_ft_install" due to version clashes when attempting an update of 
OMSA from within dsu, and then actually removing the 
dell-omsa-repository.repo file from /etc/yum.repos.d/.

What I was asking for was if there was an official/clean way to do it.

Thank you,

Ben
