From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1 Description of problem: I thought the possibility of doing a fresh install with updated packages would be a really good idea. Perhaps this could be implemented using a method, where all up-to-date packages a grabbed from selected installation media and newer packages are grabbed from an update repository (either one of the default mirrors or a specified repository). Dependencies should resolve just fine in scenarios like this. Alternatively, an "update after installation" option could be an easier implementation of a similar functionality! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. during install, notice that there is no way to install a completely updated system Actual Results: not possible Expected Results: should be possible Additional info:
Currently, you get updates in firstboot after you've rebooted from the installer. In the future, we're planning to switching to use yum as the backend for all package operations in the installer at which point this will become more feasible.
If yum is becoming package handling backend, then i agree it make sense to push something like this to a later date. Thanks!
