That is probably true for the 8.0 and 8.2 builds ... but I did make the drbd82 versions conflicts so that drbd-8.0 and drbd82 can live in the same repository and let users decide which one they want for new and old installs. So, people will need to remove the old RPM and install the new ones even for drbd-8.0.x -> drbd82 upgrades. Just to get it on this thread, here is a guide to move from 0.7 to 8.x written by Florian: http://fghaas.wordpress.com/2007/10/03/step-by-step-upgrade-from-drbd-07-to-drbd-8/ Thanks, Johnny Hughes -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
