Hi all,
I'm running 2010.1/2 & am planning on eventually upgrading to 2011.
I've been looking over the notes, etc., for doing the upgrade. One of
the things mentioned is (as always) that you remove your old media data
and then add it back with:
urpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist '$MIRRORLIST'
That's all well and good, but it leaves me feeling like I'm flying a bit
on the blind side - I don't know what that's going to point me to. :-)
See, even though I'm running a 64-bit version, there *are* some 32-bit
apps/libraries that I need for various things, so I've always pointed
urpmi at two sources for each part of the distribution (Main, Contrib,
etc.) that I use. For example, my existing urpmi.cfg file has this in it:
Contrib\ updates {
key-ids: 26752624
mirrorlist: http://api.mandriva.com/mirrors/basic.2010.1.x86_64.list
update
with-dir: media/contrib/release
}
Contrib32\ updates {
key-ids: 26752624
mirrorlist: http://api.mandriva.com/mirrors/basic.2010.1.i586.list
update
with-dir: media/contrib/release
}
Among other things. :-) I took a quick sneaky peek, but it appears that
there's nothing at that above URL which has "2011" where the "2010.1" is
currently. Thus, my dilemma. Since I don't know what $MIRRORLIST is
doing, I don't know if it's going to include both 64-bit & 32-bit sources.
So, anyone in the know out there: WILL it cover both sources? :-)
