Upgrade, updates

Quick bits of status updates:

  • Updated Coredump to WP 2.6.5, which fixes an XSS exploit vulnerability and some bugs. Since I installed using SVN, the update was a trivial
    svn sw http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/2.6.5/ .
    and a visit to /wp-admin.
  • Updated my WordPress sandbox to 2.7-beta3-9909. Again, I use the SVN trunk so updating was a breeze.
  • Upgraded one of my boxes, marty, to Fedora 10. Now, upgrading Fedora is always a bit more involved.

    I had to clean up the old yum cache (using yum clean all; point yum to the new release; do a yum upgrade; and a final package-cleanup --orphans to check for un-updated packages. After that, I pointed grub to the newly installed kernel (2.6.27.5-117.fc10), and rebooted.

    The new boot screen takes some getting used to, but the box boots surprisingly quick (~30 seconds? I did not check). And voila! I'm on Cambridge.
