ATrpms mirror the SL directories, so I upgraded to the yum 2.4.0 of ATrpms,
installed the atrpms and medley-package-config rpm packages, did a "yum
check-update", and then "yum -y update rpm1 rpm2 rpm3 ..." of each of the
packages showing up as "sl-release".

I made note to not install the yum-conf from SL (which conflicted with the
medley-package-config from ATrpms) and the rpmdb-SL from SL (which broke yum),
everything else was sweet.

Axel has also just added the upgrade path for SL41 to SL42, which this shows
when run from SL41:

sl-release: ################################################## 1543/1543

etc...


which I'll be performing sometime today on all my SL41 servers.

Michael.
