Hi,
I have several different releases of Scientific Linux running, and now one of my spare-fileservers is repowerd again
Then I found out it is still running SL 5.3, so I would like to update to 5.11, but ScienticfLinux.org in its FAQ only mentions:

>
How do I update to the latest release?

    To upgrade from SL 5.5 (or any older SL 5 release) to the latest SL 5, simply install yum-conf-sl5x
    To upgrade from SL 6.1 (or any older SL 6 release) to the latest SL 6, simply install yum-conf-sl6x
    Upgrades between major versions (from SL 5 to SL 6, or SL 6 to SL 7) are not supported.

Starting with Scientific Linux 5.9 and Scientific Linux 6.4, the 'x' repo is installed by default.
>

So:
# yum install yum-conf-sl5x 

Shows:
"No package yum-conf-sl5x available" (from ftp1.scientificlinux.org) 

Therefor: Is the phrase " or any older SL 5 release " correct ?

Regards,
Carel
