[Aurora-sparc-user] DST patches? or upgrade to Corona?

[Joe Hartley]

I've got an Ultra 60 happily running Aurora 2.0.  I noticed that it is
not going to handle the Daylight Savings Time changes that take effect in
a few weeks, so this raises a few questions.

It might be that the best way to handle this is to upgrade to Corona,
which (being based on FC6) will have the DST changes, and get me more
current, to boot.  (I notice there haven't been any updates to 2.0 as
found by yum in months.)

The road to corona used to be fraught with peril; a number of people
reported dependency hell, and Spot said at one point that some things
(like the uber-critical openssl) were just broken.  I don't know if that's
the case, and there's no howto on the upgrade.

So, the questions I'd like to pose:
Is corona stable and fully-featured enough for a mail and web server, with
no GUI use?  If so, what's the upgrade path?  Do I simply change the "baseurl"
definitions in my aurora.repo, aurora-extras.repo and aurora-updates.repo
files?

And if corona's not really ready to roll, are there any patches for the DST
stuff under 2.0?

Thanks for a nudge in the right direction!
