I installed what I think was 0.5.2 which was the newest stable release available when I brought it to Jimeta in late March of 09.<br><br>So the steps that I should take are:<br><br>1) backup some part of my server (how should I go about doing this?) Are we talking about making a copy of a particular directory here, or running a utility of some kind?<br>
<br>2) Enter this at the command prompt as root:<br><br>yum --enablerepo=olpcxs-testing update<br><br>Wait for download and installation to complete<br>
<br>3) Run:<br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><pre style="border: 1px dashed rgb(47, 111, 171); padding: 1em; color: black; background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249); line-height: 1.1em;">

<br>And how stable is this .6 pre-release candidate, because I want this to be as stable as possible when I leave. Communication regarding technical issues is extremely difficult once I leave and if things are unstable, it's likely to grind half or all of this project to a halt.<br>

<br>
</div>If the XS is on 0.5.x, and you can make a backup, I would strongly recommend<br>
<br>
yum --enablerepo=olpcxs-testing update<br>
<br>
which will bring updates from the Fedora-9 series (good!) and will<br>
upgrade your install to the latest XS-0.6 code (which is not yet<br>
formally released, but is significantly better than 0.5.x).<br>
<br>
This brings in a lot of enhancements, should not be a very large<br>
download (though maybe the Fedora-9 updates are a bit bulky). The main<br>
update affecting you is that it includes the new ejabberd that does<br>
everything magically.<br>
<br>
Once yum update is complete, you need to rerun your domain_config<br>
command. Just once. And reboot.<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
