How about the other way around? Will stuff compiled in 6.x work in 7.0?
(I would imagine so, but...)
I have a large number of servers that I maintain, most of which started
with 6.1, and I've just been updating the packages when new releases come
out. So my approach to the 7.0 release would be to review which packages
running on my servers are using packages which are newer and use those.
Especially in the case of XFree86, I don't think that a simple 'rpm -Uvh'
will work correctly. Is there any advice in "upgrading" these servers so
that I can maintain current versions? (It's not like they use X anyway,
though.)
Thanks.
