Hi,

If you really want to upgrade a ...

5107R to 5207R
... or ...
5108R to 5208R

... then the updated blueonyx-yumconf can be installed this way:

rpm -hUv
http://updates.blueonyx.it/pub/BlueOnyx/5200R/el6/blueonyx/i386/RPMS/blueonyx-yumconf-2.1.0-1.noarch.rpm

That RPM works on both 5107R and 5108R as it is not architecture specific.

Then do a "yum clean all" and "yum update". That will pull around
500-600 RPMs and will install them.

Once it is done, run the script /usr/sausalito/sbin/SSL_fixer.pl as
"root". That generates the new SSL VirtualHost containers for sites that
have SSL enabled.

Lastly you might have to restart Apache manually, as the whole set of
restarts during the updates might have left it in limbo-state. A reboot
wouldn't hurt either, but is optional.

Words of warning:
================

1.) Upgrading this way cannot be undone. Once you upgraded the box to
520XR, the old GUI is gone and I will not assist in bringing it back.

2.) As mentioned in the announcement: If you have third party software
installed that has GUI components, then this software will be without
GUI pages until the time that updated versions of that software with
pages for the new GUI become available via NewLinQ. It may take 3-4
weeks until we have updated all PKGs in the store.
