Hi,
being curious, I prepared five updates for the following components ('iptables 1.6.0' came to my view and I just couldn't resist ;-) ):
iptables 1.6.0 ipset 6.29 conntrack-tools 1.4.3 libnetfilter_conntrack 1.05 xtables-addons 2.10
The question that bugs me: What would be the best way to test whether these updates run together well under the current 'Core 100' environment? And: is anything important component missing!?
In the first, I created five "update"-packs (using the hint Michael once gave me) by creating five tar.gz-archives, each one containing the corresponding files for each version from '.../common/rootfiles/..."
The plan is to extract each package from root-directory on my (online-)testmachine, run 'ldconfig' and reboot - I think this will be necessary.
But although the whole compiling and build process (based on 'next', Core 100) ran through without any serious errors, I'm not really sure if this is the right way to test this.
Has anyone any hints how to test this the best way? I don't want to push these updates and run into some nasty errors...
Best, Matthias
