Subject: [cAos] NSA repository update
Message-ID: <571f1a060806092038w6b51ba30v63ec476ea839a3eb@mail.gmail.com>

We are pushing a major repository update to Caos NSA 1.0 which focuses
on performance and feature enhancements including an updated compiler,
core library set, OFED, KDE4, security updates and the meta-package
management tool. We found some dependency solving limitations specific
to YUM and instead of modifying YUM's internal algorithms, we migrated
to SMART which is more reliable and faster (due to a strong
algorithmic foundation), feature rich and supports multiple repository
formats (including existing YUM repositories).

The 4 steps to update are as follows:

# yum update

This will install smart, sidekick, and uninstall YUM.

# sidekick

This will open the system configuration tool, navigate to "Packages",
"Repositories" and select the repositorie(s) you wish to use.

# smart update

Refresh the smart internal cache database.

# smart upgrade

This will finally do the full upgrade of NSA.

Please let us know if there are any problems or questions through this
transition.

Thanks,
Greg
