Updating from SME 7.0 or 7.1 to SME 7.2

First, install the latest yum support files:

yum update smeserver-support smeserver-yum yum yum-plugin-fastest-mirror python-sqlite
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot

Now, clean your yum cache and update, forcing your system to use the default repositories

yum clean all
yum --disablerepo=* \
--enablerepo=base \
--enablerepo=updates \
--enablerepo=smeaddons \
--enablerepo=smeos \
--enablerepo=smeupdates \
update
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot

Finally, reset your yum repositories to the new defaults (post SME 7.1)

cd /home/e-smith/db/
mv yum_repositories yum_repositories.po
/etc/e-smith/events/actions/initialize-default-databases
expand-template /etc/yum.conf

Updating from SME 7.1.3 to SME 7.2

First, make sure you are using the default yum repository configuration:

cd /home/e-smith/db/
mv yum_repositories yum_repositories.po
/etc/e-smith/events/actions/initialize-default-databases
expand-template /etc/yum.conf

Now, clear your local yum cache and perform the update:

yum clean all
yum update
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
