- nodata 13y agoI think the GP is confusing 6.4->6.5 as a major update, when it's a minor update.
- McGlockenshire 13y agoExactly. From the big fat warning box at the top of the page: > Red Hat does not support in-place upgrades between any major versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. A major version is denoted by a whole number version change. For example, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 are both major versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
- avtar 13y agoI gave the poster the benefit of the doubt since they offered with the dist-upgrade comparison which one would only need for major release upgrades. The yum and library complaints however I didn't want to touch since I haven't experienced that with CentOS/RHEL.
