My box did upgrade itself automatically from the
initial 5.5 DVD installation to 5.7

How can I tell if my box has been automatically upgraded
from 5.7 to 5.8 please?

I see the CentOS-CR.repo is still in my /etc/yum.repos.d/
directory. Is that repo responsible for doing the automatic
upgrades for Centos 5.x?

Kind Regards,

Keith Roberts

OK thanks for that. So it looks like I'm on 5.8 already.

[root@karsites ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 5.8 (Final)

Kind Regards,

Keith

Yupp! You're welcome.

I think you might be able to see it graphically on the "main" tab of System
Monitor.

$ rpm -qf /etc/redhat-release
centos-release-5-8.el5.centos

$ rpm -q centos-release
centos-release-5-8.el5.centos
$ rpm -q --qf "%{version}
" centos-release
5
$ rpm -q --qf "%{release}
" centos-release
8.el5.centos

I don't know if it is more sane to ask the content of the file or to ask
rpm, but I tend to the rpm method. I vaguely remember that modification
of /etc/redhat-release was used to trick some third-party software that
depends on the content of the file.

yum also does an rpm lookup AFAIU , see distroverpkg in yum.conf(5)

Yes it's the same Markus.

[root@karsites ~]# rpm -qf /etc/redhat-release
