a better way to upgrade rhel

Per yesterday’s announcement of PHP 5.2.11, the IUS CoreDev Team has updated our php52 RPM set which is currently available for testing.

Installing Packages From Testing

When packages are tagged as ‘testing’ in our buildfarm they are added to the testing repository.  If you have installed the ius-release package then you already have this repo configured in yum, but disabled by default.  Simply issue the following command for the package(s) you want to install from testing:

root@linuxbox ~]# yum install PACKAGE_NAME --enablerepo=ius-testing

OR if you already have our .ius packages installed, simply upgrade.

root@linuxbox ~]# yum upgrade --enablerepo=ius-testing

Providing Feedback

We appreciate any feedback at all, both good and bad. If you have tested or are using these packages already please submit feedback via the tracker for this release. Once we have enough positive feedback or enough time has passed we can push these packages to stable.
